Cone penetration testing in snow
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1987The application of the electric cone penetrometer test in snow has been investigated and compared with results from the ram penetrometer test, which is normally used for snow profiling and slope stability analysis. A special cone penetrometer system was built consisting of a sensitive 1 cm2 electric cone, depth transducer, and battery-operated chart ...

Deepwater Cone Penetration Tests
Offshore Technology Conference, 2000Abstract This paper focuses on ground investigation by deepwater cone penetration tests (CPT). All current offshore CPT systems deploy subtraction-type cone penetrometers. Their use now includes record-breaking deepwater applications. This paper presents results of geotechnical field and laboratory measurements that

Cone penetration testing in unsaturated soils
Transportation Geotechnics, 2018Abstract Results of Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) on compacted clayey silt under different moisture contents and matric suctions conducted in a calibration chamber are presented along with results of CPTs conducted in unsaturated clayey soil at two test sites over a period of approximately two years.

Cone penetration testing in deltaic soils
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1983A multichannel electric cone penetrometer was used to perform a variety of in situ tests in saturated deltaic deposits.Factors affecting the tip bearing, friction sleeve stress, and pore-water pressures and their interpretation are studied and discussed. Pore pressure measurements were essential to evaluate the in situ test results. The effect of rate

Field Testing of Inclined Cone Penetration
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2005Abstract It is expected that the measurements of tip resistance and sleeve friction will be somewhat different between vertical cone penetration tests (CPTv) and inclined cone penetration tests (ICPT). In order to investigate this effect, a field testing program was performed in three different locations with varying soil characteristics

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.

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 ...
