โฆ Synopsis
A simple approximate analysis is presented for interpretation of cone penetration results when the cone resistance is affected by layering of soils with different stiffnesses. It is argued that the cone resistance senses the presence of a nearby layer elastically, and an approximate elastic analysis is developed to quantify the effect. Good comparisons with calibration chamber experimental results are found.

Cone penetrometer resistance in saturated sands has been shown by earlier workers to be an exponential function of a state parameter in critical state space. The present investigation demonstrates that this concept of a state parameter-penetrometer function (SPP-function) also holds good in a partly
