The first method belongs to the family of more traditional approaches, which are based on best fitting a theoretical correlation model to available CPT data. The second method involves a new strategy which combines information from conditional random fields with the traditional approach. Both methods are applied to a case study involving the estimation of θ at three two-dimensional sections across a site and the results obtained show general agreement between the two methods, suggesting a similar level of accuracy between the new and traditional approaches. However, in order to further assess the relative accuracy of estimates provided by each method, a second numerical analysis is proposed. The results confirm the general consistency observed in the case study calculations, particularly in the vertical direction where a large amount of data are available. Interestingly, for the horizontal direction, where data are typically scarce, some additional improvement in terms of relative error is obtained with the new approach. © 2013 Taylor & Francis.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:50 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26552 c and an initial value for the hardening parameter ̅p₀(0), with the various teams proposing significantly different values for some of these key parameters. A key lesson emerging from the exercise is the importance of choosing a method for selecting values for the parameters β and p^c which places the main emphasis on attempting to optimise the match to the experimental spacing of normal compression lines at different values of suction.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:09 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18640 Mon 20 Jul 2015 16:45:19 AEST ]]>
