Identifying Collapsible Soils from Seismic Cone (SCPT): A Qualitative Approach
Collapsible soils are unsaturated low-density soils that undergo abrupt settlement when flooded without any increase in the in-situ stress level.The first stage of the site characterization is identifying collapsible soils, since these are problematic soils.Seismic cone testing (SCPT) has been increasingly used for site characterization, because it
