Borehole geotechnical interpretation using LogTrans involved the following key steps: (1) Detailed analysis of key control cored holes where geotechnical logs, core photograph, and rock strength testing results are available to set up strata classification criterion for various key strata units.
Where land use and infrastructure planning and engineering design are required to be carried out over relatively short time frames, and in areas where data are scarce or non-existent, a pragmatic approach is required to yield the desired outputs, maximising contributions from geological, geomorphological and geotechnical interpretation.
Using the geological and geotechnical data, interpretations were made and conclusions drawn.
Furthermore, we demonstrate how the sparse DP data can be inter- and extrapolated to the entire tomographic plane which allows for further geotechnical and hydrological interpretations.
Such information is frequently used for quantitative geophysical model calibration of interpretation of geotechnical and hydrological subsurface conditions.
In order to investigate the effective role of sedimentological analysis in the interpretation of geotechnical data, with special reference to coastal transitional paleoenvironments, a study on the Quaternary alluvial and coastal plain successions forming the upper 30 m of the Tronto River valley subsoil, facing the Italian Central Adriatic Sea, has been carried out.
Documentation of earthquake environmental effects in well-instrumented, historical earthquakes can enable seismologic triggering thresholds to be estimated across a spectrum of geologic, topographic and hydrologic site conditions, and implemented into seismic hazard assessments, geotechnical engineering designs, palaeoseismic interpretations, and forecasts of the impacts of future earthquakes.
ŽA has been involved in revising the interpretation of the presented geotechnical profile and the final approval of the paper's concept.
The interpretation of the exact geotechnical significance of small, radar sensed ground surface deformations is challenging, especially where ground truth is lacking.
Detailed analysis of geometric and kinematic characteristics of mature fault zones can provide very useful information to various research fields, such as fault zone evolution, interpretation of local tectonics, geotechnical stability, and fault zone modeling associated with fluid flow.
Here, detailed lithostratigraphical and sedimentological investigations, including mapping of the thickness for two till units, sediment logging, clast fabric and geotechnical measurements provide a basis for interpretations.
