An Automated System to Determine Constitutive Model Parameters from In Situ Tests

In situ tests, such as the cone penetration test (CPT), are a popular tool for geotechnical engineers because they are an efficient and economical method for routine site characterisation, soil profiling and estimation of constitutive properties of soil. The main problem with interpreting in situ test results is the large amount of empiricism...

Core sample characterisation using 3D terrestrial laser scanning | TU Delft

The main purpose of this thesis is to conclude whether terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can be used as an automated method to improve the classification of soils. It was in collaboration with Fugro N.V., a large Dutch consultancy and engineering firm that is active in onshore and offshore services in the field of geological and geotechnical...
