Assessment of the spatial variability of a Croatian flood protection embankment using the cone penetration test
Understanding how soil varies spatially is necessary in order to accurately quantify the reliability of geotechnical infrastructure. For long linear infrastructure such as flood embankments, incorporating vertical and horizontal scales of fluctuation can have a significant impact on stability assessments. This paper presents preliminary results and discussion from a field test designed to determine the vertical and horizontal scales of fluctuation of a Croatian flood embankment. A series of 15 CPTUs were carried out over a 200m length of the embankment with a Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) survey done on the same section. CPT spacing was designed specifically to determine horizontal variation with multiple CPTs carried out in close proximity to each other. There was significant variation in soil stratigraphy over the embankment section with pockets of increased strength and stiffness showing up in the MASW and CPT results. This paper discusses dealing with horizontal correlation in challenging deposits and presents initial findings from the underlying sand layer.
