Analysis of cone penetration in brittle liquefiable soils

The paper presents a comprehensive set of simulations of the cone penetration test with pore pressure measurements (CPTu test) in brittle, potentially liquefiable, soils using advanced numerical techniques. The large displacements and large deformations involved in the cone penetration problem are t...
