Abstract: Considering previously published in situ test results e.g. CPTU it can be stated that saturation degree affects the penetration test results. In soil profile tested using CPTU the effective zone should be distinguished in the interpretation of test results. According to the CPTU test results conducted at the Stegny site the depth of the active zone is about 4 meters. Changes of the measured penetration parameters in active zone due to the influence of atmospheric factors should be taken into account in geotechnical parameters estimation.
