Virtual DMT: An Opportunity for Pile Design?

• Abstract:

  The DMT results are rarely used for piles design, probably because its diffusion and popularity are still limited although DMT is in use for a long time. Conversely CPTu are much more popular and often used to this purpose: this is the reason why a large concerned database is available where it is possible to get the CPTu/DMT conversion experienced in recent years. This was done for two well-documented cases [a bored pile in Santa Cruz (Bolivia) and a driven pipe pile in Sandpoint, (US)] with promising results.
