“…This example, shown in Figure 7.5a, presents one set of measurements in which the log V s -log σ o relationship was determined (Stokoe et al, 2005). The log V s -log σ v · σ h relationship reveals several important points that are discussed in the presentation (and in Stokoe et al, 2005Stokoe et al, , 2006. The soil beneath the footing was a poorly graded sand (SP) that was lightly cemented, overconsolidated, and unsaturated.…”
