Cone penetration testing in polar snow
Innovative Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) using adapted commercial CPT equipment was conducted in Antarctica in early 2010 in an attempt to assess the strength of polar snow; additionally, application of CPT data was considered, particularly in estimating surface bearing capacity. Almost 100 CPT …

Scaling effect in cone penetration testing in sand
The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) was developed originally in Holland in the 1930’s as a device which provides a small scale model of a pile foundation. Early versions were simple cone points for which the only measurement was the thrust required to push the point through the ground. Over the past 20 …

Interpretation of cone penetration test data for underconsolidated clay
In this study, cone penetration test data is correlated to vane shear and triaxial undrained shear strength test data for a saturated and underconsolidated marine clay. It is shown that cone penetration test data not corrected for pore pressures underestimates undrained shear strength. …

Location Of Sinkhole Confining Breach Using Groundwater Flow Patterns Derived From Cone Penetration Testing
… sinkholes that have occurred in the area. Use of Cone Penetration Test (CPT) soundings, in conjunction with conventional soil borings are becoming more common in the assessment of subsurface soil conditions in the vicinity of sinkhole-related ground surface. The penetration resistance data by CPT …

Use of Cone Penetration Testing in the Interpretation of Ground Shaking From Paleoliquefaction Evidence
To evaluate seismic hazard in regions of infrequent earthquakes it is often necessary to rely on evidence left from earthquakes that occurred before seismographs were available. This evidence can consist of human observations or of evidence left in the geologic record. The New Madrid Seismic Zone …

REAL TIME MONITORING OF VOLUMETRIC WATER CONTENT IN RECLAIMED MINE WASTE USING CONE PENETRATION - TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETRY
… component added to conventional geotechnical cone penetration testing (CPT). Time domain reflectometry measures the volumetric water content of a soil by characterizing the dielectric constant of the soil – a property that is strongly dependant on volumetric water content. The sensor design is …

Post processing of cone penetration data for assessing seismic ground hazards, with application to the New Madrid seismic zone
The seismic cone penetration test (SCPTu) is the most efficient means for geotechnical site characterization and the evaluation of seismic ground hazards. In this thesis, software systems including ShearPro, ClusterPro, and InSituData, are developed to automate post processing of these SCPTu data. …

Influence of penetration force in clay soils due to speed rate effect
This research discusses the effects of penetration rate on the penetration resistance in clayey soils for five different speeds of penetrations. In order to install the pile through hydraulic system, it is crucial to understand the required penetration force needed to do the job. Generally, the …
