A case history on the interpretation of CPTU data using laboratory test results

A case history on the interpretation and calibration of CPTU data using the laboratory test results is summarised. The CPTU testing was performed in a specific site near Djakovo in Croatia, in overconsolidated silty clay formation. CPTU results were interpreted based on results obtained by laboratory testing of undisturbed samples extracted from the borehole drilled 2 m away from the CPTU test location. The physical and mechanical properties of the soil are estimated using appropriate empirical CPTU correlations which have been successfully adapted to local conditions.
