On the basis of the system tests of pre-stressed anchors in the anthropogenic homogeneous earthwork, valuable material has been obtained to describe the rheological features of the trench with anchors. Anchors were designed as temporary construction. Anchors were made in compacted soils with no detailed geotechnical parameters. The soil material was treated at the design stage as having a significant random distribution of mechanical and physical characteristics. This resulted in the anchor system test being the b...

Based on a real-life example, the report presents the methodology and the process of adapting in situ measurements from static CPTu probing for an application in a design process, using direct methods of driven pile capacity estimation. The report discusses two approaches. One of them is based on a real-life original CPTu measurement involving preliminary soil assessment while the other one is based on the initial averaging of the measurement values qc and fs. The paper provides methods of averaging cone resistanc...
