Development of a Sinkhole Raveling Chart Based on Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Data [PDF]
Naturally occurring sinkholes in Florida are formed when the soluble limestone bedrock weathers and creates cavities at its interface with the overburden finer-grained soils. The overburden soil then erodes into the limestone fissures, thus weakening the
