Displacement and strain paths during plane-strain model pile installation in sand
David White,Malcolm D. Bolton +1 more
TL;DR: The underlying mechanisms governing the behavior of displacement piles in sand are not well understood, leading to unreliability in design methods as discussed by the authors, and a series of plane-strain calibration chamber tes...

Cone penetration test (CPT)-based soil behaviour type (SBT) classification system — an update
TL;DR: The cone penetration test (CPT) has been gaining in popularity for site investigations due to the cost-effective, rapid, continuous, and reliable measurements as discussed by the authors, and is often referred to as a soil behaviour type (SBT) classification.
