.... The strength values of the in-situ vane are compared with strength results from triaxial tests, laboratory vane, and Torvane tests. These data are also correlated with in-situ test results obtained with the piezocone penetrometer. The in-situ vane shear strength data show a small scatter, and good agreement...

... parts of the drill ship and wireline sampling and in-situ testing systems and the stationary and moveable seabed systems. In the drill ship system, the various methods of reducing or preventing vertical motion of the drill string to improve drilling, sampling, and in-situ testing performance are briefly...

... The difficulty in obtaining samples for laboratory testing in very soft cohesive marine deposits necessitates the use of in-situ testing methods. Piezocone penetrometers that measure the tip resistance q c , sleeve friction f s , and the generated pore pressure u , are one of the most...

... The importance of in-situ testing of soils has been recognised for some time. To extend the equipment available for in-situ testing in an offshore environment, the British Government financed the development of a wireline operated push-in pressuremeter and since 1980 the Stressprobe has been...

... The results of a field investigation carried out with the French self-boring pressuremeter PAF 76 in a soft deltaic clay deposit located in south Louisiana are presented. The in-situ test is performed using an electronic control and data acquisition system, monitored by an HP85 microcomputer...
