Dynamic Cone Penetration Test Analysis

[@SuperBulletforme]

Hi Ivan, thanks for posting videos. all your videos are superb.

Hi Ivan, thans for sharing. Can u please suggest what SOFTWARE to process this DCP data that can produce interpretation and also its correletaion between DCP point

[@Panchobway]

What about correlating to cbr and soil bearing capacity?

[@asimsuwal7661]

Hi Ivan Great video. Very useful. Just a question. Sometimes the DCP test shows higher blows (Example 9 to 10 blows) around 0.5m to 1m in clay soil and shows less blows (Example 4 to 5) as you go deeper around 1m to 2m. Can you explain why that is?

[@clifforddunenye5352]

When you start with the test, evaporation and movement by vehicles can compact the top soil, giving you a slightly higher strength. I think there will be water table within the depth of 1m that's why. Clay when wet is soft and expands thus, you will need less energy to penetrate it. so in summary, there is a possibility of a water table being around that depth hence, the lower DCP values.

This was very helpful. Thank you.

Is it possible to convert penetration per blow to force per unit base area when measuring soil penetration?

[@JBayney]

Very useful video thanks

This spt? Or cpt? Cpt is pushed

[@sachindhamapurkar6251]

Which Standard refer to conducting DCPT?

[@yaniklubin4672]

Hi, can you provide the name of the book (Look, 2014)?
