Enhanced, statistically-controlled integrated model of geo-data based on CPTu

Abstract

The paper presents the possibilities of geostatistical analysis of geotechnical data using cluster analysis. As a result of the analysis, geological data from boreholes were replaced by digital data corresponding to parameters measured during CPTU static sounding. A unified database with a depth resolution of 2 cm was obtained, allowing it to be used to build geostatistical geotechnical models, e.g. using kriging. Techniques providing statistical control of the homogeneity of geotechnical separations, based only on measured data and not on interpolated or correlated data, were used to create the model. The technique used makes it possible to create an integrated geo-engineering model of the subsoil even for small sites with limited data.
