The use of Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) for the study of the dynamic characteristics of the soils

Antonio Cavallaro
Abstract:
This paper describes and compares the results of in situ investigations performed on two Sicilian test sites: Augusta Saline (SR) and Catania STM M6 areas. The studies were carried out to determine the variation of shear modulus with depth by Cone Penetration Tests (CPT), Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), Down - Hole Tests (DHT), Seismic Dilatometer Marchetti Tests (SDMT). The available data also enabled one to compare the shear modulus profile obtained by empirical correlations based on CPT and SPT with Down - Hole Test and Seismic Dilatometer Marchetti Test.
