Field estimation of deformation modulus of the soils by multichannel analysis of surface waves.

The paper presents the processed results of Plate Load Tests and of Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves for dispersive and semi-rocky soils at the sites with different soil conditions located in the Perm Region, Russian Federation. Unit weight and deformation modulus were calculated from the obtained data. The value of the data lies in their applicability for the prompt preliminary assessment of the site geotechnical situation.

Results of field testing of municipal solid waste by combination of CPTU and MASW.

The cone penetration testing of MSW by piezocone (CPTU) in combination with the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) provide extensive data about estimated values of physico-mechanical properties of wastes, which are usually unavailable in traditional approaches and which can be directly used in geotechnical stability calculations of the waste massif.
