Interpretation of cone penetration tests — a unified approach

TL;DR: The electric cone penetration test (CPT) has been in use for over 40 years and is growing in popularity in North America as discussed by the authors, and some recent updates on the interpretation of some key g...

Recent Advances in Soil Liquefaction Engineering: A Unified and Consistent Framework

TL;DR: The field of soil liquefaction engineering has evolved into a sub-field in its own right, and engineering assessment and mitigation of seismic soil liquidation hazard is increasingly well addressed in both research and practice as mentioned in this paper.

Liquefaction and flow failure during earthquakes.

Kenji Ishihara
- 01 Sep 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this article, two aspects of seismically-induced liquefaction are discussed which are of vital engineering significance: the triggering condition and the consequences of liquidation, and the evaluation of residual strength requires a better understanding of undrained sand behaviour.
