4 Project: San Lazzaro di Savena (BO) CPT: 16.8_CPTU1 Total depth: 15.6 m, Date: 4/11/16 Dissipation Tests Results Dissipation tests Dissipation tests consists of stopping the piezocone penetration and observing porepressures (u) with elapsed time (t). The data are automatic recorded by the field computer and should take place until a minimum of 5% dissipation. The porepressures are plotted as a function of square root of (t). The graphical technique suggested by Robertson and Campanella (1989), yields a value for t 5, which corresponds to the time for 5% consolidation. The value of the coefficient of consolidation in the radial or horizontal direction c h was then calculated by Houlsby and Teh's (1988) theory using the following equation: c h T r I t 5.5 r where: T: time factor given by Houlsby and Teh's (1988) theory corresponding to the porepressure position r: piezocone radius I r : stiffness index, equal to shear modulus G divided by the undrained strength of clay (S u ). t 5 : time corresponding to 5% consolidation Permeability estimates based on dissipation test The dissipation of pore pressures during a CPTu dissipation test is controlled by the coefficient of consolidation in the horizontal direction (c h ) which is influenced by a combination of the soil permeability (k h ) and compressibility (M), as defined by the following: where: M is the 1-D constrained modulus and γ w is the unit weight of water, in compatible units. k h c h γ w /M Tabular results CPTU Borehole Depth (m) (t 5).5 t 5 (s) t 5 (years) G/S u c h (m /s) c h (m /year) M k h (m/s) 16.8_CPTU E E E-9
