• system. The computer generated graphical logs include cone resistance, friction resistance, friction ratio, and pore pressure ratio versus depth at a user selectable scale. Soil Behavior type interpretations are based on the following reference: Robertson, P.K. and Campanella, R.C., 1989, "Guidelines for Geotechnical Design using the Cone Penetrometer Test and CPT with Pore Pressure • Measurement." Soil Mechanics series NO. 120, Civil Engineering Department,University of British Columbia, Vancouver,B.C.,V6T 1Z4, September 1989. Interpretations and plotting has been done using MEGT's proprietary data interpretation and presentation software. It is important to note that the data is not averaged. All interpretations are point interpretations at the • corresponding depth listed. It is also important to note that the soil behavior type correlations are based on a combination of theory, field research, and research performed under laboratory conditions, and literature review. The information presented in the tabulated and /or graphical logs should, therefore, be viewed as a guideline rather than as precise measurements. • Some care is recommended when using the soil behavior type interpretations. If a tabulation depth happens to fall on a soil layer interface or a seam of soil differing from the rest of the layer, the tabulated data can be misleading. The solution to this problem is the proper use of the graphical CPT logs. The tip and sleeve penetration resistance logs are the primary source of profile description; the soil behavior type logs are supplemental. The graphical logs of the tip and sleeve resistance should be examined and layer boundaries delineated in accordance with the project • requirements. The soil behavior type interpretations are only representative of the response of the soil to the large shear deformations imposed during cone penetration. This is not necessarily a prediction of the grain size distribution. However, it has been found that the interpreted soil behavior types generally will agree with the soil types defined in accordance with the grain size distribution methods such as used in the Unified Soil Classification System. • Limitations Middle Earth Geo Testing, Inc.
