... highlight that in dense sands, large volume increase is expected inside the pile and thus can result in reduction in the capacity of the suction pile. diameter model test suction pile penetration depth suction pressure initial penetration depth relative density cone tip resistance...

... The local soil properties become important parameters to evaluate the micro soil behavior. The smaller penetrometer has been commonly used to assess the soil properties in local area with the cone tip resistance with higher sensitivity. The objective of this study is the development...

... This study evaluates the constrained modulus (M) and the small strain shear modulus (G max ) of cemented sand from cone tip resistance (qc). For this, a series of piezocone and bender element tests are performed in a large calibration chamber, and one-dimensional compression tests are also...
