Figure 7.
The flowchart shows steps for predicting the cone resistance profile. Input includes C P T parameters and D r. A block defines mean effective stress and K 0 relations using equations with sigma v prime, sigma p prime, and O C R. Two branches show equations for q c shallow and q c deep. A final block combines them into a global model using a transition function based on hyperbolic tangent terms and parameters n 1 and n 2.Flow chart summarising the updated global model for interpretation of shallow depth CPTs in siliceous sand. The CPT input parameters include cone resistance (qc), vertical total stress (σv), vertical effective stress (σ′v), and reference stress (pa = 100 kPa). The corrected cone resistance is denoted qt. The preconsolidation stress is σ′p, the overconsolidation ratio is OCR, and m′ is an empirical stress exponent. The transition parameters are suggested as n1 = 0.6 and n2 = 2
