Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

The article delves into the innovative use of shear wave velocity for foundation design, highlighting the advantages of in-situ measurements over laboratory tests. It discusses various methods for measuring shear wave velocity, including surface waves, boreholes, and soundings. The article also explores empirical correlations between shear wave velocity and other geotechnical parameters, such as SPT and CPT data, and how these correlations can be used to estimate design parameters for shallow and deep foundations. The approach is validated through case studies of published load tests on shallow footings and pile load tests in soft calcareous rocks. The article emphasizes the importance of considering the in-situ stress state and soil compressibility when estimating shear wave velocity. Additionally, it provides insights into the relationships between shear wave velocity and soil stiffness, strength, and rock properties, making it a comprehensive resource for professionals seeking to enhance the accuracy and reliability of foundation design.
