Effect of root spacing on interpretation of blade penetration tests-full-scale physical modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The spatial distribution of plant roots is an important parameter when the stability of vegetated slopes is to be assessed. Previous studies in both laboratory and field conditions have shown that a penetrometer adapted with a blade-shaped tip can be ...

Effect of microbial activity on penetrometer resistance and elastic modulus of soil at different temperatures

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, 2017
We explore the effect of microbial activity stimulated by root exudates on the penetrometer resistance of soil and its elastic modulus. This is important because it is a measure of the mechanical strength of soil and it correlates closely with the rate ...

Prediction of CBR Using Dynamic Cone Penetrometer

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 1997
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value is very popular among highway engineers as a soil support value for pavement design. However, since CBR cannot be easily determined in the field, prediction of CBR values from other soil support tests such as Dynamic ...
