Miniature piezocene tests and effects of smear due to vertical penetration in layered soils

Knowledge of the soil profile is necessary for ground engineering projects and piezocones are widely used in situ test devices that can supply some of this knowledge. This thesis describes an investigation of the performance of a specific piezocone when used in thinly layered soil. A miniature piezo...
