Generation and Evaluation of CPT Data Using Kriging Interpolation Technique

The cone penetration test (CPT) has been the de facto field exploration method in geotechnical engineering for decades. Variations of CPT can measure parameters seismic, environmental, and hydrological applications. Analyzing response often requires properties areas that have little or no data. Therefore, given limited data, it is critical to understand how accurately estimate soil at unsampled locations. In this paper, we generated shear wave velocity profiles using kriging interpolation technique assessed their performance site analysis. Four interpolation-based four additional CPT-based defined conditions We performed a series 1-D equivalent linear analyses STRATA software. analysis results are presented as amplification factors (AF), peak ground acceleration (PGA) profiles, surface spectral acceleration, time histories. Compared were evaluated discussed. confirmed reliability predicting
