Abstract
This study employs Cone Penetration Tests (CPTu) and Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) to analyze the geotechnical properties of the Magdalena River’s riverbed and banks. While these methods are standard in soil characterization, this research innovatively combines CPTu’s continuous profiling with SPT’s localized sampling to develop a nuanced stratigraphic model of the subsurface. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive view of the soil conditions, which is crucial for understanding sediment variability and stability along the riverbanks. The findings from this methodological integration enhance our ability to predict soil behavior under dynamic riverine conditions, offering valuable insights for erosion control and sustainable river management. The study underscores the practical benefits of synergizing traditional testing methods to address geotechnical challenges in river environments.
