Why caution against declaring “no liquefaction” from a lone CPT screen without corroborating tests?
Choices
- (A) Thin sand seams, layered fills, or perched water can dodge tip resistance trends
- (B) CPT correlations are infallible for every stratigraphy
- (C) Liquefaction never occurs in reclaimed ground
- (D) Groundwater depth is irrelevant once friction angles exceed thirty degrees
Correct answer: (A)
Thin sand seams, layered fills, or perched water can dodge tip resistance trends
Explanation
Profiling gaps require complementary borings or geophysics
