Abstract
The resistivity piezocone penetration test RCPTU does not only include a conventional piezocone penetration test but also provides a continuous profile of electrical resistivity Therefore RCPTUs have the potential for wide application in environmental geotechnics Electrical resistivity is a fundamental parameter characterizing soil conductivity one of the inherent physical properties of soil The objective of this study was to evaluate subsurface spatial variability using RCPTU data and laboratory tests Normalized electrical resistivity was proposed for developing the relationships between electrical resistivity and soil behavior type index relative density and cyclic resistance ratio These relationships are used for evaluation of subsurface spatial variability The soil behavior type index can be represented by the function of normalized electrical resistivity R and normalized cone tip resistance Additionally there is a positive correlation between relative density and normalized electrical resistivity The evaluation of cyclic resistance ratio adopting the normalized electrical resistivity and normalized cone tip resistance was effectiveThe majority of the work presented in this paper was funded by the Natural Science Foundation of China Grant No 41330641 41202203 the “Twelfth FiveYear” National Science and Technology Support Plan Grant No 2012BAJ01B02 the Foundation for the New Century Excellent Talents of China NCET130118 the Foundation of Jiangsu Province Outstanding Youth Grant No BK20140027 the Foundation for the Author of National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation of PR China Grant No 201353 and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities Grant No 2242013R30014 These financial supports are gratefully acknowledged The authors would like to express appreciations to the editor and two anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions
