    Cone penetration tests (CPT) and piezocone penetration tests (CPTU) can determine soil type profiles, soil parameters like internal friction angle and undrained shear strength, and are highly applicable to soft soils like clay and silt. Seismic cone tests and flat plate dilatometer tests are also effective for soil profiling and parameters in soft to medium soils, while resistivity probes and vane shear tests are better for medium to stiff soils. Cone technologies provide critical soil data for foundation design and geotechnical analysis.

    Soil parameter definitions:

    u = in situ static pore pressure k = coefficient of permeability


    ’ = effective internal friction angle su = G = shear modulus at small strains
    undrained shear strength h = horizontal stress
    mv = constrained modulus OCR = overconsolidation ratio
    cv = coefficient of consolidation
