CPeT-IT: Which value should I use?
Now that you have successfully created your typical sections you maybe wonder which value you should propose for some parameter in a single layer. First of all let's go back and discuss a little on how you should assign code names to your layers.
When working with several CPT files in a single project, you are targeting towards to the identification of soil layers that reappear in the various CPT profiles. Some of theses layers most probably will be assigned with an identical code name, for example Sand_1 layer that appears in CPT-01, 06, 08, 09 and 10. Each Sand_1 layer carries information like average values of various parameters but what you probably need is to present single values when talking about this sand layer. CPeT-IT, adopted the methodology proposed in Eurocode 7, to calculate Minimum Characteristic Values. The analysis is performed mainly for qt but the software will present you the characteristic values calculated for all estimations. By examining characteristic values you may adjust and finally propose single values in your final report.
