    Volcanics soils

    Hi. I'm searching books or web pages about SPT on lapilli soils an its correlations. I often job in these soils. The blow count is always very low and the correlation is very difficultous. The lapillis have low density (0,9 kg/m3)and they are very fragile. Thanks[cry]

    circular plate for determining the load-bearing capacity

    Thanks Ron, but the problem, I know the limitations about PLT and I know don't exist magic equations but I want know the different equations exist. For example, the SPT, it correlation is very complicate but there are numerous equations of diferents autors. Each Geotechnical Engineer uses an...

    circular plate for determining the load-bearing capacity

    I agree with bigh and focht3 about PLT. [peace] But I have seen other geotechnical reports, where the qu is divide by a SF. I think that isn't correct operation. [thumbsdown]I think the equation Terzaghi and Peck (1.967), is based on low number datas. So, I ask, Is there other method more...

    circular plate for determining the load-bearing capacity

    Hi! I'm searching information about settlements of load plate test and real shallow foundation relationship. I have found the equation Terzaghi and Peck (1.967) but I think this equation isn't accurate. I haven't found other equation. Anybody can help me?[bigears]
