Two Aspects of Earth Penetration: Measurement of Resistance to Burial and Theoretical Prediction of Penetration in Stratiform Soil
Abstract
Within the scope of the work conducted in the discipline of controlled penetration in soils, techniques are outlined and suggested which should help the investigator estimate the resistance to penetration (soil factor) at a location in a few minutes using portable equipment. Included is a compilation of soil penetration data from various locations. Additional work has also been completed which enables the researcher to theoretically predict burial depths of impacting vehicles in stratiform soil or earth.
