Tabular Results
When the CPT data file is imported or loaded and processed, the analysis results are presented in both tabular format and in charts. Most of the soil parameters are presented on the main page, as shown below while additional analyses are accessible through Tools menu from the top toolbar: Other analysis such as pile bearing capacity and settlement analysis are carried out on separate pages accessed through Tools menu on the top toolbar. The tabular data are presented in two tables:
"Basic Parameters" table: qc : Cone tip resistance as it is read during the test fs : Cone sleeve friction as it is read during the test u2 : Pore water pressure as it is read during the test qt : Corrected cone tip resistance = qc + (1-α)*u2 where α is net area ratio (~ 0.8); please read this article for more information Qt : Normalized cone resistance = (qt - σv)/σ'v Bq : Normalized pore pressure ratio = (u2-u0)/(qt - σv) Fr : Normalized friction ratio = fs/(qt - σv) Rf : Friction ratio = fs/qt * 100 Ic : Soil type index (based on Robertson 1986) Qtn : Normalized cone resistance (based on iterative procedure proposed by Robertson 2010) = (qt - σv)/Pa * (Pa/σ'v)n where Pa is the atmospheric pressure ~ 100 kPa n : Exponent of Qtn normalization (based on iterative procedure proposed by Robertson 2010) Sv : Total overburden stress (σv) S'v : Effective overburden stress (σ'v) Su : Undrained shear strength for fine-grained soils Fines Content : Percent passing sieve #200 (silty and clay) N60 : Equivalent SPT blow counts N1(60) : Equivalent overburden-corrected SPT blow counts = N60 * Cn (Liao & Whitman method) "Advanced Parameters" table: Hydraulic Conductivity : Coefficient of permeability of the soil (K) e : Void ratio Cc : Coefficient of compression for consolidation settlement * Dr : Relative density of soil * Es : Modulus of elasticity, used for elastic settlement Ko : Coefficient of earth pressure at rest M : Constrained modulus St : Sensitivity of clay OCR : Over-consolidation ratio Φ : Friction angle of soil Gmax : Maximum shear modulus VS : Shear wave velocity
* use this values with cautious, confirm consistency of the results with other correlations and methods. |
