Soil Consolidation Parameters Derived from CPTu Probing

Continued development of infrastructure in Slovakia will open new sections of motorways and expressways. The motorwayy D1 from Bratislava to KoÅ¡ice is being built in section Lietavská Lúčka - Višňové - Dubna Skala. The knowledge of geology has acceded to the engineering geological (EG) survey, which is also considered a static penetration test with piezocones. Department of Geotechnics University of Žilina on a given section made of static penetration probe with measurement of pore pressures. This article deals with vertical and horizontal consolidation calculated from static penetration test (CPTu) in the locality Lietavská Lúčka Žilina west portal of the tunnel and the tunnel Višňové.
