.... This variability is modeled as a random field, which can be described concisely by the coefficient of variation (COV) and the scale of fluctuation. The COV of inherent variability for various test measurements is given in histograms to illustrate its population distribution. The means and standard deviations...

... water content. Due to extreme sensitivity of cone resistance, the penetrogram is a signature of dry density variation and nature of the soil. This method gives an efficient method of quality control in trenches up to 8 meters deep. It is proposed to use cone resistance qd to verify the in situ dry...

... of water during the performance of a structure is a common condition requiring analysis for steady state and draw down conditions. The shear-strength parameters of cohesive soils are much influenced by its stress history. The volume changes and pore-pressure variations of normally consolidated clays...
