Analysis of Physical and Mechanical Soil Properties Determined Using Interpretations of Dilatometric Test (DMT) and Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Methods

Road design is a complex, time-consuming, and very responsible process. To develop high-quality viable road project, it important to start with an accurate geological survey in order define the best layout. Moreover, geotechnical characterisation of foundation soils construction materials as well analysis assessment works are mandatory. Laboratory situ investigations complementary should be carried out by defining cost-effective investigation campaign. Most often, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) or (static) Penetration Test (CPT) performed because they economic quick. In addition, also possible perform Marchetti Dilatometer (DMT). From obtained test results, data interpreted determining properties soil layers. Although all probing methods similar, each them gives slightly different results. The aim this study analyse compare results test, determine difference between find how affect development constructive solutions from safety point view.
