Using Miniature Cone Penetration Test (Mini-CPT) to determine engineering properties of sandy soils

using miniature cone penetration test (mini-cpt) to determine engineering properties of sandy soils

in-situ testing techniques have proven to be successful in improving the speed and reliability of geotechnical investigations. one of the most common in-situ methods in engineering geology and site investigation is cone penetration test (cpt), which is mainly used for characterization of soils, as it is a robust, simple, fast, reliable and economic test that can provide continuous soundings of ...

Estimating of geotechnical properties of clay soil with dynamic cone penetration (DCP) test

Dynamic cone penetration (DCP) test is used more in pavement design and construction, and less for subsurface geotechnical investigation and clay core dam. In the present article, evaluating geotechnical parameters of Sanandaj’s clay in the western region of Iran using the DCP test was taken into account. Accordingly, 6 trial pits with maximum depths of 15 m were excavated manually in various s...

A Method for Predicting Pile Capacity Using Cone Penetration Test Data

The massive construction in poor lands has encouraged engineers to use deep foundations in order to transfer superstructure loads to the subsoil. Since soil excavation, sampling, and laboratory testing as a part of site investigation are relatively difficult, in-situ tests such as cone penetration test (CPT) as a very informative test may be recommended. The CPT has been widely used in engineer...

Instruments and Methods Cone penetration testing (CPT) in Antarctic firn: an introduction to interpretation

Commercial cone penetration testing (CPT) equipment was adapted to allow penetrative testing in hard polar firn to depths of 10m. The apparatus is hydraulically driven, rate-controllable and able to penetrate firn with a resistance of 10MPa. It can be mounted on many types of typical polar vehicles, requiring connection to only hydraulics and 12V electricity. Data recorded include both cone tip...
