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
