CPT Sounding was conducted at a depth of 21 m below the ground surface using an electric cone as shown below shown. The recorded tip resistance was 612 kPa. The value of the skin friction recorded was 180kPa and the porewater pressure was 170 kPa. (1) What is the soil type X? (ii) Determine the undrained shear strength of the soil? 6 m, 12 m QUI SAND with Silt E Ground water Unit weight, y=18 kN/m³ Water content, w=15% | 8 m SPT= 11-14-22 LLI SAND with gravel and with Silt Unit weight, y-19 kN/m³ Water content, w=22% Soil X Unit weight, y=12 kN/m³ CPT Sounding Water content, w=45% CPT Sounding was conducted at a depth of 21 m below the ground surface using an electric cone as shown below shown.
