Diagnosis of Earth-Fill Dams by Several Sounding Tests

The spatial distribution of the strength inside an earth-fill dam is identified by sounding tests. In this research, the Swedish Weight Sounding (SWS) test is employed, and the spatially high-density test is possible to identify the spatial correlation structure by the SWS. The correlation structure of an earth-fill could be identified...

3G - Geophysical Methods Delivering Input to Geostatistical Methods for Geotechnical Site Characterization

Geophysical methods are able to contribute significantly to geotechnical site characterization. In-situ parameters are collected and gaps between boreholes or other direct tests are filled with information. However the limited resolution has to be considered and the indirect geophysical parameters have to be translated into something...
