From Field to Foundation: Interpreting CPTU Data for Better Design Decisions
In geotechnical engineering, accurate interpretation of soil data is the bridge between field investigation and foundation design. One of the most powerful tools for achieving this precision is the Cone Penetration Test with Pore Pressure measurement (CPTU). The Power of CPTU Data CPTU testing provides engineers with continuous, high-resolution data that goes far beyond simple resistance readings. It measures: Cone resistance (qc): Indicates the soil’s strength and density
