Estimation of in-situ shear strength parameters of weathered granitic (masado) slopes using lightweight dynamic cone penetrometer

A major problem in the geotechnical approach to the stability of natural slopes is that there is usually little information on the in-situ geotechnical conditions, because of the extreme difficulty associated with ground investigations of steep slopes covered with vegetation. In this study, a lightw...
