Implication

This analysis uncovers the significance of cone penetration tests in defining shear strength parameters, highlighting implications for dam safety in geological settings.

Key Points

Improved understanding of shear strength parameters facilitates safer design in geotechnical applications.
Cone penetration tests capture stress history, enhancing the evaluation of undrained shear strength.
Innovation involved sectorisation of undrained shear strength ratios considering over-consolidation and stress state.
The findings support more reliable geotechnical assessments in complex geological environments.
