Cone Penetration Test

Cone penetration test is used to determine the geotechnical properties of soil and its stratification. One of the better advantages of this test is boreholes are not required to conduct the test. Unlike the standard Penetration Test, however, soil samples cannot be recovered for record and laboratory tests. For performing this test, basically two types […]

Standard Penetration Test(SPT)

1. What is SPT? The standard penetration test is a leading test in Soil Exploration (Soil Investigation) performed on the field (In-situ) and designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. The test procedure is described in ISO 22476-3. SPT gives us the Standard Penetration Number (SPN). 2. How to Perform SPT? […]
