Analysis of DCPT Result

This document analyzes the results of a dynamic cone penetration test conducted to determine the soil strength profile with depth. It presents the cone penetration resistance values, cumulative penetration blows, calculated California bearing ratio (CBR) values, and layer thicknesses over a depth of 1 meter. Graphs show the variation in cumulative penetration and CBR with increasing depth, indicating three distinct soil layers with average CBR values of 44.9%, 11.4%, and 6.9% respectively.
