In-Situ Geotechnical Characterization of Soft Estuarine Surficial Sediments Using a Portable Free Fall Penetrometer
… with active sediment transport and deposition. Portable free fall penetrometers have been previously used to provide initial information on sediment type, strength, and stratification, but challenges with the calibration of empirical parameters such as the cone factor and strain rate factor …

Investigation of the Relationships Between Geotechnical Sediment Properties and Sediment Dynamics Using Geotechnical and Geophysical Field Measurements
… of coastal erosion and hazard mitigation. Portable free fall penetrometers have emerged as an economic and useful tool for rapid geotechnical site characterization and uppermost sediment layer investigation. Acoustic methods have been used to assess seabed layering, scour evolution, and …

Influence of Geotechnical Properties on Sediment Dynamics, Erodibility, and Geomorphodynamics in Coastal Environments Based on Field Measurements
… measurements of beaches, (2) advances portable free fall penetrometer (PFFP) data analysis in intertidal environments through the introduction of an impact velocity dependent strain-rate correction factor, (3) relates textural and sediment strength properties derived from PFFP …

Numerical and Data Analysis of a Portable Free Fall Penetremeter
… the mechanical behavior of coastal soils. Portable free-fall penetrometers (PFFPs) are widely used for this purpose, offering a rapid and efficient means of collecting in situ soil data. Despite their utility, the interpretation of PFFP data remains uncertain due to the empirical nature of …
