Calibration of a model to predict the Peak Punch-Through Penetration Resistance of a Spudcan on Sand Overlying Clay

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...
