Summary of Test Method4.1 A penetrometer tip with a conical point having a 60 apex angle and a cone base area of 10 or 15 cm2is advanced throughthe soil at a constant rate of 20 mm/s. The force on the conical point (cone) required to penetrate the soil is measured by electricalmet
44、hods, at a minimum of every 50 mm of penetration. Improved resolution may often be obtained at 20- or 10-mm intervalreadings. Stress is calculated by dividing the measured force (total cone force) by the cone base area to obtain cone resistance, qc.4.2 Afriction sleeve is present on the penetrometer
45、 immediately behind the cone tip, and the force exerted on the friction sleeveis measured by electrical methods at a minimum of every 50 mm of penetration. Stress is calculated by dividing the measured axialforce by the surface area of the friction sleeve to determine sleeve resistance, fs.4.3 Most
46、modern penetrometers are capable of registering pore water pressure induced during advancement of the penetrometertip using an electronic pressure transducer. These penetrometers are called “piezocones.” The piezocone is advanced at a rate of20 mm/s, and readings are taken at a minimum of every 50 m
47、m of penetration. The dissipation of either positive or negative excessporewater pressure can be monitored by stopping penetration, unloading the push rod, and recording porewater pressure as afunction of time. When porewater pressure becomes constant it is measuring the equilibrium value (designate
48、d u0) or piezometriclevel at that depth.5. Significance and Use5.1 Tests performed using this test method provide a detailed record of cone resistance which is useful for evaluation of sitestratigraphy, homogeneity and depth to firm layers, voids or cavities, and other discontinuities. The use of a
49、friction sleeve andporewater pressure element can provide an estimate of soil classification, and correlations with engineering properties of soils.When properly performed at suitable sites, the test provides a rapid means for determining subsurface conditions.5.2 This test method provides data used for estimating engineering properties of soil intended to help with the design andconstruction of earthworks, the foundations for structures, and the behavior of soils under static and dynamic loads.5.3This method tests the soil in-situ an
