Using Penetrometers to Measure Sea Bed Properties

Abstract

The long-term goal of this work is to develop a set of tools that can be used to determine insitu values for certain sediment geotechnical properties that are needed to predict the potential for burial when various objects such as mines impact the sea bottom.
