Dr. Robertson's technical papers on Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and liquefaction
The purpose of this guide is to provide a concise resource for the application of the CPT to geotechnical engineering practice. This guide is a supplement and update to the book CPT in Geotechnical Practice by Lunne, Robertson and Powell (1997). Recommendations are provided on applications of CPT data for soil profiling, material identification and evaluation of geotechnical parameters and design.
The purpose of this guide is to provide a concise resource for the application of the CPT for geo-environmental projects. This guide is a supplement to the book CPT in Geotechnical Practice by Lunne, Robertson and Powell (1997). Basic recommendations are provided on applications of CPT data for soil profiling, material identification, evaluation of geotechnical parameters and application of CPT technology to geo-environmental projects.
