'CONE-PENETRATION TESTING IN GEOTECHNICAL PRACTICE'

摘要

In-situ testing of soil beds by the penetration of cones is the most effective and universal method of acquiring a large volume of data on the stratification and physico-mechanical properties of soils at various depths under various conditions, including those prevalent on the continental shelf. A vast number of publications, seminars, and conferences in Russia and abroad are devoted to the subject of cone-penetration testing. Many problems involving this testing are, however, treated differently, both on the national and international level. Expansion of international cooperation in the field of geotechnical engineering, and international participation in design and construction require harmonization of different concepts, methods, and standards in the field of cone-penetration testing.
