Depth (m) | Soil description | Geological classification | SPT |
---|---|---|---|
0–1.5 | Fill material (clayey silt) | — | — |
1.5–4.1 | Very soft marine clay with decomposed wood | M | 0 at 2.5 |
4.1–6.6 | Soft to stiff sandy silt | F | 3 at 4.5 |
29 at 6.6 | |||
6.6–8.2 | Residual soil of shale | S4 | 31 at 8.2 |
8.2–12 | Completely weathered shale | S4 | 82 at 10.5 |
12–14 | Completely weathered sandstone | S4 | 64 at 12.5 |
14–20.15 | Highly weathered sandstone | S2 | 49 at 14.3 |
