Spatial Variability of Levees As Measured Using the CPT
2nd International Symposium on Cone Penetration Testing, Huntington Beach, CA, USA, May 2010 Spatial Variability of Levees as Measured Using the CPT R.E.S. Moss Assistant Professor, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo J. C. Hollenback Graduate Researcher, U.C. Berkeley J. Ng Undergraduate Researcher, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo ABSTRACT: The spatial variability of a soil deposit is something that is commonly discussed but difficult to quantify. The heterogeneity as a function of lateral distance can be critical to the design of long engineered structures such as highways, bridges, levees, and other lifelines. This paper presents a methodology for using CPT mea- surements to quantifying the spatial variability of cone tip resistance along a levee in the California Bay Delta. The results, presented in the form of a general relative va- riogram, identify the distance at which the maximum spatial variability is achieved for a given soil strata. This information helps define minimally correlated stretches of levee for proper failure and risk analysis. Presented herein are methods of interpret- ing, calculating, and analyzing CPT data to arrive at the quantified spatial variability with respect to different static and seismic failure modes common to levee systems. 1 INTRODUCTION Spatial variability of engineering properties in soil strata is inherent to the nature of soil. Spatial variability is controlled primarily by the depositional environment where high energy systems usually deposit materials with high spatial variability (e.g. al- luvial gravels) and low energy systems usually deposit materials with low spatial va- riability (e.g. lacustrine clays). This spatial variability is generally taken into account in geotechnical design in a qualitative empirical manner through appropriately spaced borings to assess the changing subsurface conditions.

Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms
Title 430 – National Soil Survey Handbook Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms Subpart A – General Information 629.0 Definition and Purpose This glossary provides the NCSS soil survey program, soil scientists, and natural resource specialists with landform, geologic, and related terms and their definitions to— (1) Improve soil landscape description with a standard, single source landform and geologic glossary. (2) Enhance geomorphic content and clarity of soil map unit descriptions by use of accurate, defined terms. (3) Establish consistent geomorphic term usage in soil science and the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS). (4) Provide standard geomorphic definitions for databases and soil survey technical publications. (5) Train soil scientists and related professionals in soils as landscape and geomorphic entities. 629.1 Responsibilities This glossary serves as the official NCSS reference for landform, geologic, and related terms. The staff of the National Soil Survey Center, located in Lincoln, NE, is responsible for maintaining and updating this glossary. Soil Science Division staff and NCSS participants are encouraged to propose additions and changes to the glossary for use in pedon descriptions, soil map unit descriptions, and soil survey publications. The Glossary of Geology (GG, 2005) serves as a major source for many glossary terms. The American Geologic Institute (AGI) granted the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) permission (in letters dated September 11, 1985, and September 22, 1993) to use existing definitions. Sources of, and modifications to, original definitions are explained immediately below. 629.2 Definitions A. Reference Codes Sources from which definitions were taken, whole or in part, are identified by a code (e.g., GG) following each definition.

Landform Geography (4 Credit Hours) Course Description: Hydrolo
GEOGRAPHY 201 LANDFORM GEOGRAPHY BULLETIN INFORMATION GEOG 201 - Landform Geography (4 credit hours) Course Description: Hydrology, soil science, and interpretation of physical features formed by water, wind, and ice, with emphasis on environmental change Note: Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Instructor Contact Information: SAMPLE COURSE OVERVIEW This course is an introduction to landforms; that is, the physical features on the Earth's surface such as valleys, hill-slopes, beaches, sand dunes, and stream channels. Students will learn, from the study of landforms, of past environmental conditions, how they have changed, and the processes involved, including human actions and natural agents. Students also will learn about soils, hydrology, and processes of landform creation by water, wind, ice, and gravity. ITEMIZED LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon successful completion of Geography 201 students will be able to: 1. Explain scientific methods and terminology including hypothesis formulation and testing, experimental design, the method of multiple working hypotheses, and opposite concepts such as inductive vs. deductive reasoning and empirical vs. theoretical methods. 2. Interpret topographic maps and geospatial data such as remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). 3. Collect and analyze laboratory and field measurement data to describe Earth materials, soil properties, sediment grain-size distributions, and landform features. 4. Evaluate the merits of various theories of landscape change, such as catastrophism, uniformitarianism, and neo-catastrophism, and to explain how landforms are created and change over various time scales. 5. Comprehend the environmental history of Earth’s surface from the recent geologic past to present with an emphasis on Quaternary processes and changes (the Quaternary is the current geological period that began ~2 million years ago), and interactions between climate, humans, and environmental response during and after the Neolithic period of human culture.

De Geer (1858–1943), these moraines are low amplitude ridges that developed subaqueously by a combination of sediment deposition and squeezing and pushing of sediment along the grounding-line of a water-terminating ice margin. They typically occur as a series of closely-spaced ridges presumably recording annual retreat-push cycles under limited sediment supply. Equifinality A term used to convey the fact that many landforms or bedforms, although of different origins and with differing sediment contents, may end up looking remarkably similar in the final form. Equilibrium line It is the altitude on an ice mass that marks the point below which all previous year’s snow has melted.
