Figure 13.
A three-panel labelled A, B, and C showing cone resistance q c and relative density D r versus penetration for C P T B 3 and C P T B 4.The three-panel labelled A, B, and C depicts penetration in metres on the vertical axis. Panel A shows cone resistance q c in megapascal for C P T B 3 with a measured curve and a global curve labelled q c global D r equals 0.93 and d c equals 4.4 centimetre. Panel B shows cone resistance for C P T B 4 with a global curve labelled q c global D r equals 0.63 and an annotation D r equals 0.88. Panel C shows relative density D r versus penetration with two curves labelled Corrected and an arrow marking D r deep. All panels show variation with depth and increasing values in deeper zones.

CPT interpretation at Site B using 15 cm² cone: (a) CPT-B3: measured qc compared with qc.global; shallow Dr ≈ 0.93, (b) CPT-B4: measured qc compared with qc.global; shallow Dr ≈ 0.63, and (c) corresponding Dr.deep profiles illustrating density variation with depth
