Stanier, S.A. (author), Hu, P. (author), Cassidy, M.J. (author)This paper demonstrates the use of a geotechnical drum centrifuge in the calibration of a model to predict the peak punch-through penetration (qpeak) resistance of a spudcan on sand overlying clay. A series of loose sand overlying clay tests was performed and combined with an existing database of tests performed on dense sand overlying clay. The...conference paper 2012

Li, J. (author), Tian, Y. (author), Cassidy, M.J. (author)Natural soil is one of the most variable materials as a result of physical and chemical changes. The variation in soil properties significantly affects the failure mechanism and bearing capacity of a footing. This effect is further complicated by considering the spatial correlation of the soil properties. The purpose of this study is to...conference paper
