    Destruction/compression of soil by CPT

    Dear All, Please, advice me. I am looking for description of destruction/compression of soil during CPT. In different soils (clayey - sandy soil) it should be different process...., different size of influenced zone and so on. Any feedback are much appreciated. Best Regards, Maxim

    Not usual behavior of sleeve friction during PCPTU

    I have not so big experience in CPT testing, but i did not noted the effect before. As i understand it is not so usual. It could be local effect in this area. I asked the question to find out this. Maybe someone more experience then me will say me......Hey, don`t worry. It`s normal. It is...

    Not usual behavior of sleeve friction during PCPTU

    I have a calibration before the tests. We used 2 cones and result is same-same. As i understand it depends from the tested soil but i dont understand the process of this. Unusual - friction require more time for increase up to level before break Show me your e-mail and i will send you a sample...

    Not usual behavior of sleeve friction during PCPTU

    Short description of behavior: "Often a noticeable decrease in friction (ratio) occurs at 1 metre intervals. This happens when the force on the rods/cone is reduced in order to add another length of pushrod (1m). When the test is continued, the friction has to "build up" to attain...

    CPT rods string stability during penetration

    Dear All, I am looking for the information about "stability" of the cpt rods string during penetration. It is depend from the type of soil, depth and load. It is like feeling - when you have to stop penetrating to prevent the break of string and equipment. PLEASE HELP TO...

    evaluation of foundation condition under a building

    Dear Sirs, I am looking for information about evaluation of foundation condition under a building for determination of volume of improvement work for increasing the bearing capacity (foundation improvement for prevent the failure or deformation). As i understand it can be achieve by means...
