CPT 1<br />

From plots of individual cone readings, shown typically for CPT 1 in Figure 4.45 the<br />

average <strong>and</strong> characteristic cone resistances over the length of the shaft <strong>and</strong> at the base are<br />

CPT1 CPT2 CPT3 CPT4 Average Characteristic<br />

Shaft, average q c MN/m 2 6.0 7.5 8.4 8.5 7.6 7.35<br />

Base, min q c MN/m 2 8.2 9.7 10.1 10.7 9.7 9.3<br />

For CPT1, Shaft friction � 0.008 � 6.0 � 2.87 � 10.5 � 1.45 MN<br />

Base resistance � 8.2 � 0.656 � 5.38 MN<br />

R cal � 5.38 � 1.45 � 6.83 MN<br />

Similarly for CPT2: R cal � 6.36 � 1.81 � 8.17 MN<br />

CPT3: R cal � 6.63 � 2.02 � 8.65 MN<br />

CPT4: R cal � 7.02 � 2.05 � 9.07 MN<br />
