Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

CPTU probe test scheme.

Figure 2:

An example of a research point consisting of: a) a cross section of the borehole, where Sa – sand, Si – silt, Cl – clay, Mg – made ground, Gr – gravel; b–d) graphs of the basic parameters of CPTU probing, such as qc, fs, and u2; e) a graph of the calculated laboratory values of the liquidity index IL for the selected layers.

Figure 3:

Liquidity index IL before (green line) and after (orange line) transformation for the example research point.

Figure 4:

Results of identification of liquidity index with the developed LSTM network in comparison with known values of the liquidity index. Explanation in the text.

Figure 5:

Comparison of the obtained results with the correlation proposed by PN-B-04452:2002 and with laboratory results transformed by Equation 3 for profile number 7.

Figure 5:

Borehole profiles.

Figure 6:

Results of identification of soil type with the developed LSTM network (predicted data) in comparison with known borehole profiles (actual data). The profile includes the following data numbers: profile 1 (0–540), profile 2 (540–2115), profile 3 (2115–2837), profile 4 (2837–3547), profile 5 (3547–4600), profile 6 (4600–5318), profile 7 (5318–6304), profile 8 (6304–8060).
