Abstract

This thesis focuses on 76 pairs of Cone Penetration Tests and boreholes that include Kreftenheye, out of a full database of nearly 200 pairs from TNO - Geological Survey of the Netherlands, generally reaching depths up to 40 meters. The thesis presents this analysis, showing the geological and geotechnical patterns and variations within the Kreftenheye Formation and how the integration of geological and geotechnical knowledge can lead to more effective engineering designs.
