Abstract: This paper presents a new interpretation procedure to estimate the initial state parameter from cone penetration testing (CPTu) in undrained conditions based on the results from a comprehensive set of numerical simulations of CPTu in low permeability liquefiable soil. CPTu simulations are performed using the Particle Finite Element method, whereas the material response is modelled with CASM. The effects of soil constitutive parameters and roughness of the soil-steel interface are examined. It turns out that the numerical results are correctly summarized by an analytical relation derived from undrained cavity expansion results in critical state soils, as long as the constraints resulting from cone geometry are taken into account. The resulting adapted analytical formulation is notable for its simplicity and ease of use, comparing favorably with existing alternatives.
