      Evaluation of geotechnical parameters on a project site is a necessary step in geotechnical engineering. However, due to the inherent variability of soil properties and the lack of data, many unavoidable uncertainties arise ...
    • Clustering analysis to improve total unit weight prediction from CPTu 

      Collico, Stefano; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Devincenzi, M.J.; Rodriguez, A.; Deu Lozano, Amadeu (Taylor & Francis Group, 2022)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Accurate estimates of soil unit weight are fundamental for correctly post process CPTu data and making use of Soil Behavior Type-based classification systems. Soil-specific and global regressions have been proposed for ...
    • Probabilistic delineation of soil layers using Soil Behavior Type Index

      CPTu-based soil profiling has become a key component in the geotechnical design process. However, this is an interpretative process, affected by the inherent variability of soil properties, measurement noise and subjective ...
    • Probabilistic mapping of earthquake-induced submarine landslide susceptibility in the South-West Iberian margin 

      Collico, Stefano; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Urgelés Esclasans, Roger; Gràcia Mont, Eulàlia; Devincenzi, M.J.; Pérez García, Norma (2020-11)
      Article
