- Description
- The aim of the paper is to present some possible CPTu test sites in the estuary environment of Australia. The work includes four u2 dissipation tests. The dissipation tests were evaluated with two evaluation methods, a non-monotonic dissipation test evaluation method (method A) for the upper Holocene estuarine clays and a monotonic dissipation test evaluation method (method B) for the lower Pleistocene estuarine and deeper alluvial clays. The homogeneity was investigated by comparing the results for the two test sites (identified model parameters and their reliability information). A relationship was suggested between c and t50 for the monotonic dissipation test data. The determination of geological layer boundaries was made on the basis of the continuous profile.
