Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization 4 / Геотехническая и геофизическая характеристика участка 4

The use and application of in-situ testing has continued to expand in the past few decades. This paper focuses on some major in-situ tests (SPT, CPT and DMT) and presents selected insights that the geotechnical engineering profession may find helpful. Many of the recommendations contained in this paper are focused on low to moderate risk projects where empirical interpretation tends to dominate. For projects where more advanced methods are more appropriate, the recommendations provided in this paper can be used as a screening to evaluate critical regions/zones where selective additional in-situ testing and sampling may be appropriate. <...>
