.... The implications of these results for in situ investigations of PT tailings deposits are outlined. geotechnical engineering models (physical) site investigation Before placement of the slurry material, the base of the strong boxes was covered with a nominally 15 mm thick layer of coarse sand, overlaid...

...) geotechnical engineering models (physical) site investigation Mahmoodzadeh and Randolph (2014) showed the benefit of measuring pore pressure at more than one location. Their centrifuge study was carried out by combining the response from separate tests using two piezoballs with mid-face and equator...

... relative density on the change of lateral earth pressure was greater when using the 4 mm CPT than the 12 mm CPT. Some residual lateral pressure was observed after completion of the CPT in dense sand tests. geotechnical engineering models (physical) site investigation The main objective...

...%, are summarised in Table 1 . geotechnical engineering models (physical) site investigation The cone penetration test (CPT) end resistance (q_{t) is well known to vary with the penetration rate employed due to effects of partial drainage and viscosity (e.g. Bemben and Myers, 1974 ; Kim}...
