Figure 16.
The graph depicts cone resistance q c in megapascal on the horizontal axis and penetration in metres on the vertical axis. A measured curve labelled C P T is shown alongside a global curve labelled q c global. The profile shows variation with depth, with an upper region indicating D r equals 1 and a deeper region indicating D r equals 0.75. A label indicates d c equals 3.57 centimetres. The curves show increasing resistance with penetration and variation between measured and global estimates.Example application with poor performance of updated global model (qc.global) for an offshore CPT from the North Sea
