Download or read book Evaluation of Cone Penetration Testing CPT for Use with Transportation Projects written by Alexander Nicholas Stern and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) has many advantages as a means for subsurface investigation. CPT consists of pushing a steel cone into the ground and recording the penetration resistance using sensors. Pore pressure, shear wave velocity and other measurements can also be taken using CPT. Several states have incorporated CPT into their subsurface investigation programs and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has funded this project as a first step toward routine use of CPT in Ohio. CPT soundings were completed at 20 sites throughout Ohio and the data were correlated with corresponding data obtained from standard penetration and laboratory testing. Clear correlation trends for the 17 different ODOT soil types were not obtained and a larger database is needed to improve the correlations. Guidelines for CPT machine operation and data analysis are presented. Existing correlations for engineering parameters are also discussed. CPT is expected to become a useful tool for ODOT subsurface exploration work and provide considerable cost savings over the long term.

Download or read book Cone Penetration Test Design Guide for State Geotechnical Engineers written by Ryan Dagger and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this project are focused on a new cone penetration testing (CPT) geotechnical design manual for highway and transportation applications based on recent research and innovation covering the period from 2000 to 2018. A step-by-step procedure is outlined on how to use CPT data in the analysis and design of common geotechnical tasks. Previous manuals are either very outdated with information from 1970-1996, or not appropriately targeted to transportation works. This design document introduces modern and recent advancements in CPT research not otherwise captured in legacy manuals from the 1990’s and earlier. Examples and case studies are provided for each topic interpreted using CPT measures. In the manual, a step-by-step procedure is outlined on how to use CPT data in analysis and design for typical geotechnical practices. These topics, which are applicable both to state highways and local roads, include bridge foundations (including shallow footings and deep foundations) and soil characterization (including determination of standard soil engineering properties).

Download or read book Cone Penetrometer Comparison Testing written by James A. Schneider and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of 61 cone penetration tests were performed at 14 sites in the state of Wisconsin. Data reinforced conclusions from practice in Minnesota and previously performed test programs related to the Marquette Interchange and Mitchell interchange project that use of the CPT can be successful in glacial geologies. Within in this study CPTs were performed to depths in excess of 75 feet in alluvial deposits, outwash, and lacustrine soils. Difficulties were encountered in clay tills and fill placed for highway structures. However, previous experience in Milwaukee by commercial CPT operators had success in clayey tills of eastern Wisconsin.
