1. CPTu Configuration Impact on Evaluated Undrained Shear Strength
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : This thesis evaluates the commonly used geotechnical probing method CPTu, on how different probe configurations impact the resulting evaluated undrained shear strength in soft clay deposits, in comparison to each other and laboratory methods. This is done by performing field investigations on Lindefältet, Södermanlands län, Sweden. READ MORE

2. Evaluating undrained shear strength of clay with DPSH-A - A down to earth assessment of the applicability in Scania, Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : The undrained shear strength of cohesive soils is an important parameter to assess in geotechnical investigations. It is normally evaluated with the cone penetration test (CPT) but problems with penetrating coarse, heterogeneous materials that is also hard, such as clay till, have pointed the interest towards other possible in-situ methods.

3. Cone penetration testing in the clay tills of Skåne - An investigation of the cone factor
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : The undrained shear strength is a key parameter in the design process of geotechnical structures. One of the most frequently used methods to investigate this parameter is the cone penetration test (CPT). READ MORE

4. A study of the correlation between soil-rock sounding and column penetration test data
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Lime-cement columns have been used in Sweden to improve poor soil conditions since the 1970’s. The method is inexpensive and flexible, but is difficult to test since the columns are manufactured in-situ. Many test-methods have been developed for testing the column strength during the years.
