Popis: Interpretation of CPTU in silts is challenging compared to sands or clays since penetration occurs allowing partial drainage. Further insight into the soil response around a penetrating cone in silts is needed, including volumetric changes and pore pressures. This paper presents measured cone resistance, soil stress and pore pressure in silt during model scale penetration tests with penetration velocities varied by three orders of magnitude. The experimental results are back-calculated by finite element simulations to identify key aspects of the silt behavior during penetration of the cone.
