TL;DR: In this paper, a Miniature Cone Penetration (Mini-CPT) test was used in laboratory conditions to define the relationships between tip resistance (qc(MCPT)), friction resistance (f) and some engineering properties of poorly graded sandy soils such as relative density (Dr), Friction Angle (?), Elastic Modulus (E), Shear Modulus(G), and the Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (Ks) with different densities.
Abstract: In-situ testing techniques have proven to be successful in improving the speed and reliability of geotechnical investigations. One of the most common in-situ methods in engineering geology and site investigation is Cone Penetration Test (CPT), which is mainly used for characterization of soils, as it is a robust, simple, fast, reliable and economic test that can provide continuous soundings of subsurface soil. Miniature Cone Penetration (Mini-CPT) Test is a new type of CPT but in diameter less than conventional CPT to determine the bearing capacity and strength parameters of loose to semi-dense soils at shallow depth. Mini-CPT needs lower force to penetrate into the soil, and its ability to identify very thin underneath layers is higher than CPT. In this research, a Mini-CPT apparatus was used in laboratory conditions to define the relationships between tip resistance (qc(MCPT)), friction resistance (fs(MCPT)) and some engineering properties of poorly graded sandy soils such as Relative Density (Dr), Friction Angle (?), Elastic Modulus (E), Shear Modulus (G), and the Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (Ks) with different densities. Based on the results of the experiments, the relationships between both the qc(MCPT) and fs(MCPT) with engineering properties were obtained with a high determination coefficient (R2>0.85).

Abstract: This technical note describes the installation and performance of eight vibrating wire crackmeters placed on the bed of Santos Morcillo Lake, Ruidera Lakes Natural Park, Central Spain. Waterproof crackmeters were used, and special attention was taken to anchor them to the bed of the lake. Data loggers were installed on upright posts above the lake water level, and continuous crack opening data were obtained. The data consistency is shown by the low deviation of the readings with respect to its trend, which, in turn, is well correlated with the overall hydrogeologic behavior of the system. The data indicates the correct performance of the measuring system. Therefore, at least for periods of up to 1 year (time window of the study presented here), waterproof crackmeters may be used with confidence in underwater conditions.

TL;DR: Based on the conclusions of IHRB Project TR-444, Demonstration Project Using Railroad Flat Car Bridges for Low Volume Road Bridges, additional research on the use of RRFC bridges was undertaken.
Abstract: Based on the conclusions of IHRB Project TR-444, Demonstration Project Using Railroad Flat Car Bridges for Low Volume Road Bridges, additional research on the use of RRFC bridges was undertaken. This portion of the project investigated the following: (1) Different design and rating procedures; (2) Additional single span configurations plus multiple span configurations; (3) Different mechanisms for connecting adjacent RRFCs and the resulting lateral load distribution factors; (4) Sheet pile abutments; and (5) Behavior RRFCs that had been strengthened so that they could be used on existing abutments. A total of eight RRFC bridges were tested (five single span bridges, two two-span bridges, and one three-span bridge). Based on the results of this study a simplified design and rating procedure has been developed for the economical replacement bridge alternative. In Volume 1, the results from the testing of four single span RRFC bridges are presented, while in Volume 2,this volume, the results from the testing of the strengthened single span bridge plus the three multiple span bridges are presented.
