Assessing compressibility characteristics of silty soils from CPTU: lessons learnt from the Treporti Test Site, Venetian Lagoon (Italy)

This paper explores the capability of cone penetration testing as an effective tool to estimate the compressibility characteristics of silts, silt mixtures and sand mixtures. The study uses part of the large amount of piezocone (CPTU) data and subsoil deformation measurements assembled over approxim...
