Virtual DMT: An Opportunity for Pile Design?

Gianni Togliani

Abstract

The DMT results are rarely used for piles design, probably because its diffusion and popularity are still limited although DMT is in use for a long time. Conversely CPTu are much more popular and often used to this purpose: this is the reason why a large concerned database is available where it is possible to get the CPTu/DMT conversion experienced in recent years. This was done for two well-documented cases [a bored pile in Santa Cruz (Bolivia) and a driven pipe pile in Sandpoint, (US)] with promising results.
