All parameters given, soft clay or medium sand archetypes
Cpt Parameter Derivation
Derives geotechnical design parameters from cone penetration test (CPTu) data using the Robertson (1990) classification framework. Computes corrected cone resistance qt, normalized parameters Qt and Fr, soil behavior type index Ic, and estimates undrained shear strength (via Nkt) for clay-like soils or friction angle for sand-like soils based on the Ic = 2.6 boundary.
