Objective

Interpret available laboratory test data to confirm the adopted CPT factor and the undrained
shear strength of MD and Alluvial Clays.

Methodology
The Plastic Index from Atterberg Limits Tests are correlated and compared with the
adopted CPT factor. Undrained Unconsolidated Triaxial Compression Test results
and Vane Shear Tests are compared with the adopted design line for Clays.

Conclusions
Atterberg Limits Test indicates a Plasticitiy Index in MD that confirms the adopted
CPT factor of nkt = 14.
Undrained Unconsolidated Triaxial Compression Test results confirms the adopted
undrained shear strength design line in MD.
SPT 'N' design plot for the Alluvium confirms the adopted undrained shear strength design line in Alluvium
