| Engineering geological (EG) survey is a key element in the process of planning, design, and implementation of geotechnical projects. Its main objective is to obtain detailed information about the geological conditions at the site of the future construction and their impact on structural stability and safety. In this research project, we focus on the integration of laboratory and field tests in assessing the stiffness and strength of soils at small strains. For this purpose, we will use Bender elements in the geotechnical laboratory under controlled conditions and measured data from SCPTu tests under real conditions. Through laboratory tests with Bender elements, we will obtain a reliable method for determining the shear wave velocity, while measured data from SCPTu tests provide us with information in real conditions. The integration of these two methods will allow us to gain a comprehensive view of the mechanical properties of soils and provide us with important data for engineering applications in the field of geotechnics and civil engineering. |
