The Development of the Torpedo-Piezocone
29th International Conference on Ocean Offshore and Arctic Engineering: Volume 1, 2010Co-Authors: Elisabeth De Campos Porto, Cipriano José De Medeiros Junior, Paulo Roberto Dionysio Henriques Junior, Diego Foppa, Antoˆnio Carlos Pimentel Ferreira, Rachel Guerreiro Basi´lio Costa, Jane V. V. Fernandes, Fernando Artur Brasil Danziger, Graziella Maria Faquim Jannuzzi, Gustavo Vaz De Mello Guimara¯esAbstract:The paper describes the development of a Soil Investigation equipment, consisted of a piezocone installed at the tip of a torpedo-pile. The new equipment, named torpedo-piezocone, is able to measure cone resistance (qc ), sleeve friction (fs ), pore-pressure at the cone face (u1 ) and cone shoulder (u2 ) as well as cone temperature during free-fall and some time after final stop. Velocity, as well as displacement (depth) are obtained from accelerometer data, as in the case of the torpedo-pile. The various steps to develop the equipment are presented, from the requirements of the transducers until the calibration procedures in the laboratory. The first tests performed onshore are also presented. In general, very good results have been obtained.Copyright © 2010 by ASME

A Case Study of the Application of Direct Shear and Cone Penetration Tests to Soil Investigation, Design and Quality Control for Peaty Soils
Soils and Foundations, 1994Co-Authors: Hideo Hanzawa, Takao Kishida, Takeshi Fukasawa, Hideyuki AsadaAbstract:ABSTRACT A case study is presented of the application of direct shear and cone penetration tests to Soil Investigation, design and quality control for an expressway embankment constructed on a peaty subSoil with multi-loading stages. Soil Investigation results and various correlations to be used for design and quality control obtained from the two tests are presented. Shear strength and degree of consolidation during construction estimated from the cone penetration test are shown and compared with those evaluated from the settlement measurements at the site. In addition, a detailed stability analysis is made on an embankment which failed during the construction at a height of 6.3 m. The degree of consolidation and results of the stability analysis clearly indicated that the direct shear and the cone penetration tests are effective tools for Soil Investigation, design and quality control for embankment construction on peaty subSoil profiles.
