Vertek CPT University: Soil profile determination based on CPT data Sponsored

Cone Penetration Testing is a widely used technique for soil profile determination, allowing geotechnical engineers to assess sub-surface conditions without necessarily taking soil samples to the lab. Learn the fundamentals of Cone Penetration Testing and its practical applications in a nutshell, through the following article by Vertek!

Cone Penetration Testing is a testing method commonly used for soil characterization in the field, eliminating the need for soil sampling and execution of laboratory tests. Starting from the way it works, VertekCPT gives the definition of the basic CPT measurements followed by basic interpretation guidelines. Additionally, the factors that affect the accuracy of the CPT predictions are outlined (overburden stress, pore water pressure), while the test's additional functions are pointed out.
