The variations of cone tip resistance and sleeve friction with depth are given from CPT data.

Assume water table to be at a depth of $1\mathrm{.}5$ m $.$ Develop a boring log by "back$-$analysis" based on

the CPT data. This should include as a minimum the following components:

Identify several soil layers and perform soil classification according to Unified Soil

Classification System.

Probable unit weights with depth

Effective stress with depth

Undrained Shear Strength and$/$or $$ values with depth

Estimated N values with depth

Please submit the following:

A title page with an appropriate title

A formal boring log will all the minimum components

outled in the Task

The methods$/$equations used to calculate different

components of the boring log

A list of references used
