Product Description

Among the field sounding tests the static cone test is a valuable method of recording variation in the in situ penetration resistance of soils, in cases where the in situ density is disturbed by boring operations, thus making the standard penetration test unreliable especially under water. The results of the test are also useful in determining the bearing capacity of the soil at various depths below the ground level. In addition to bearing capacity values it is also possible to determine by this test the skin friction values used for the determination of the required lengths of piles in a given situation. The static cone test is most successful in soft o loose soils like silty sands, loose sands layered deposits of sands, silts and clays as well as in clayey deposits 1.
