Horizontal Cone Penetration Testing
2003It has been proposed to use horizontal cone penetration tests froma tunnel boringmachine to obtain additional information on the soil in front of the TBM. This article gives an overviewof various investigations into the feasibility of such a technique. The execution of the test as well as the interpretation of the measurements are considered.

Experimental Research on Cone Penetration Resistance
Geo-Congress 2014 Keynote Lectures, 2014Cone penetration in soil is a complex process. The complexity arises partly from the boundary-value problem itself, in which a penetrometer with a conical tip is pushed down at constant rate through a (likely heterogeneous) soil mass of infinite extent in the horizontal direction but with a free horizontal surface, partly from the nature of the soil, a

The piezometer cone penetration test
1981Deep quasi-static cone penetration tests in saturated soils can develop large excess pore pressures. The level and sign of the excess pore pressures depend on the volume change characteristics, the strength and the permeability of the soil. The recent addition of pore pressure measurements during cone penetration testing adds a new dimension to the ...

Correlation Between Cone Penetration Rate And Measured Cone Penetration Parameters In Silty Soils
2013This paper shows, how a change in cone penetration rate affects the cone penetration measurements, hence the cone resistance, pore pressure, and sleeve friction in silty soil. The standard rate of penetration is 20 mm/s, and it is generally accepted that undrained penetration occurs in clay while drained penetration occurs in sand.

Cone penetration resistance of calcareous sand
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2006Calcareous sands form the foundation soils/structural fill for most of the engineering works in Kuwait, the Arabian Gulf countries and also act as structural fill. In situ calcareous sands are stronger than uncemented sand but lose much of their strength when re-worked or on wetting.
