Abstract:Piezocone Penetration Test (CPTu) is widely used in offshore projects to obtain soil parameters, such as the undrained shear strength. Due to depth limitations to perform this test, it is common to obtain data until around 40m when the conductor installation process would require at least double the depth. The present work uses extrapolation techniques based on analytic and heuristic approaches to estimate data beyond the depth domain of CPTu tests. Design of the conductor casing is highly dependent on soil pr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
