Log stratigraphic analysis of dynamic penetrometric tests
Good morning, I am a master's student in geology. I am taking the course in geology applied to civil engineering and I wanted to ask you this question. The image on the book shows the sliding surface of a landslide and the comparison of three stratigraphic logs created by continuous dynamic penetrometric tests DP. I wanted to understand how the sliding surface is determined. Do we need to measure the three depths for the three logs in which the number of blows is lower and would the sliding surface pass through these three depths? (lower shear resistance). I have doubts, but from the image it seems so.
