P-wave velocity at Site C0002 and strength profiles derived from the triaxial test, P-wave velocity, and drilling parameters. The depth profile of the P-wave velocity was acquired from logging-while-drilling in Holes A, F, N, and P10,28,29. Each line colour indicates the drill hole from which the logging data were obtained. The black EST line is the running average of all holes within 5 data points (Fig. 2). The red squares in the column are the measured strengths obtained in laboratory experiments9, and the light blue dots show the strengths estimated from the sonic velocity-porosity-strength relation13.
