CONE PENETRATION

The purpose of this book is to give an overview and short description of the latest techniques for in-situ soil investigation using ‘push technology'. It provides information about cone penetration testing, soil sampling techniques and instrumentation on land and rail, near-shore and offshore. More than 25 cone penetrometers, instrumentation devices and samplers are described... PREFACE 1.1 Cone penetration testing (CPT) is the most versatile device for in situ soiltesting. Without disturbing the ground, it provides information about soiltype, geotechnical parameters like shear strength, density, elasticmodulus, rates..... guide to cone penetration testing for soil and geotechnical investigations companies undertaking Cone Penetration Testing, Bomb Detection and Bomb testing which is carried out with track truck, 6x6 truck, crawler and mobile rig, using geotechnical instruments including piezometer
