“…Eight geotechnical properties were mapped in 3D voxel models (812,520 voxels at 1 m × 1 m × 1 m resolution): cohesion (c), friction angle (<i>φ</i>), deformation modulus (<i>E</i>), plasticity index (<i>PI</i>), liquidity index (<i>LI</i>), porosity (<i>e</i>), particle size (<i>PS</i>), and particle size distribution (<i>PSD</i>). Stratification patterns were revealed with ~35% variability. Maximum φ (34.9°), <i>E</i> (36.6 MPa), and <i>PS</i> (1.29 mm) occurred at 8–16 m; <i>c</i> (33.1 kPa) and <i>PSD</i> peaked below 16 m, while <i>PI</i> and <i>e</i> were elevated in the upper and lower strata. …”
