The dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) has proven to be a useful tool in ascertaining relative density, assessing compaction quality, and evaluating variability of natural poorly-graded sand deposits and engineered fills of the same soil type. This paper presents several case studies where DCP test measurements are compared against SPT and/or nuclear density tests. DCP blow count to relative density and relative compaction relationships for sands are presented.
