Question:
A cone penetration test was carried out in normally consolidated sand, for which the results are summarized below:
Depth (m) ........................ Cone resistance, qc (MN/m2)
2.0 ....................................................... 3.12
3.5 ....................................................... 4.25
5.0 ....................................................... 5.14
6.5 ....................................................... 9.23
8.0 ....................................................... 12.2
The average unit weight of the sand is 16.5 kN/m3. Determine the friction angle at each depth using Eq. (3.52).
Eq. (3.52)
