Dear all,
After calculation of Q (Normalized Cone Resistance) and F( Normalized Friction Ratio) if our results grater than 1000 for Q and grater than 10 for F, What does it mean.

If you e-mail me the electronic CPTU file [<info@UnisoftLtd.com>;], I will take a look at it and comment back to you.

Well,
If the numbers are correct, you are off the scales of the graph by Robertson (1990, closure 1991), so probably "not-defined" in terms of the CPT soil behavior type (SBT) classification.
Sincerely
Paul

I am surprised that you did not avail yourself of Mr. Stevens' generous offer of assistance.

Mr. Maxim,
Munif Celebi appears to be interested in presenting a question but not in responding to those who want to assist him.

Dear Mr. Celeby,
Thanks for sending me the CPTU soundings. I found the profile to consist of a one metre surficial sand layer on a 32 m thick layer of soft clay deposited directly on a sand layer at the end of the sounding. Because the cone stress is small, the friction ratio gets to exceed 10 % for some data points. The 10 % is the upper boundary for the Robertson classification chart. Presumably, Robertson did not have CPTU data with a friction ratio larger than 10 %. If the data are plotted in a Robertson chart with the friction ratio axis extended beyond 10 %, it looks logical to simply extrapolate Robertson's boundary lines for the different classification areas.
However, you can avoid the quandary by using the Eslami-Fellenius classification approach. The E-F classification is essentially the same as in the Robertson 1990 method, which supports the mentioned “logical” extrapolation of the boundaries.
Best regards,
Ted Stevens
