Cone penetration testing in polar snow
Innovative Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) using adapted commercial CPT equipment was conducted in Antarctica in early 2010 in an attempt to assess the strength of polar snow; additionally, application of CPT data was considered, particularly in estimating surface bearing capacity. Almost 100 CPT …

Scaling effect in cone penetration testing in sand
The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) was developed originally in Holland in the 1930’s as a device which provides a small scale model of a pile foundation. Early versions were simple cone points for which the only measurement was the thrust required to push the point through the ground. Over the past 20 …

SQL injection detection and exploitation framework for penetration testing
SQL injection is one of the complex and threatening attack used against SQL database servers and web applications. Attackers use SQL injection to get unauthorized access and perform unauthorized data modification. To mitigate the devastating problem of SQL injection attack, there are many existing …

Use of Cone Penetration Testing in the Interpretation of Ground Shaking From Paleoliquefaction Evidence
To evaluate seismic hazard in regions of infrequent earthquakes it is often necessary to rely on evidence left from earthquakes that occurred before seismographs were available. This evidence can consist of human observations or of evidence left in the geologic record. The New Madrid Seismic Zone …

Attack Planner: Systematization and Expansion of Persistence Knowledge
… against these attacks, companies have to hire penetration testers to help them find vulnerabilities within the system. However, this can be very expensive and time consuming. It is also very hard to be completely thorough and comprehensive with penetration testing as there are so many different …

Quaternary geology of the German North Sea and Western Irish Sea Mud Belt: revised stratigraphies, geotechnical properties, sedimentology and anthropogenic impacts
… a combination of core, seismic and in-situ Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) data was used to identify sedimentary units, place them within a morphological context, relate them to glacial or interglacial periods stratigraphically, and correlate them across the German North Sea. Subsequently, we were …
