SOIL PROFILE INTERPRETED FROM CPTU DATA (2000)

The cone penetrometer allows for the soil type to be determined from the measured values of cone resistance and sleeve friction.The paper references several published methods of soil profiling. All but two of these apply cone resistance plotted against the friction ratio. However, the friction ratio includes the cone resistance and this manner of data presentation violates the principle of not plotting a variable against itself.
