IN-SITU GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SOFT ESTUARINE SURFICIAL SEDIMENTS USING A PORTABLE FREE FALL PENETROMETER

Knowledge of geotechnical soil properties in the upper meter of the seabed is important for challenges such as scour around submerged structures, management of unexploded ordnances, and generally issues associated with active sediment transport and deposition. Portable free fall penetrometers have b...
