Abstract

The article presents the author's comments about a study on the evaluation of remolded shear strength and sensitivity of soft clay through the use of full-flow penetrometers. It stresses that use of single-digit resolution in coefficients simply reflects the opinion that the trend lines developed should be resolved to this level. It also emphasizes that the use of site-specific data will always improve estimation of coefficients.
