Effects of Cone Velocity and Size on Soil Penetration Resistance

Abstract

Data show the cone penetration resistance of fine-grained soils is proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to cone diameter. An exponential equation based on the velocity-diameter ratio is developed to describe the interrelation. The exponent changes only slightly with the soil type.
