Determination of Relative Density and Degree of Saturation in Mineral Soils Based on In Situ Tests
Based on the results of dynamic probing (DP), time-domain reflectometry (TDR/MUX/MPTS), resistivity cone penetration tests (RCPT), Marchetti dilatometer tests (DMT), and seismic dilatometer tests (SDMT), it is possible to develop a relationship to calculate the relative density (<i>D<sub>...
