Subsurface Exploration with the Cone Penetration Testing

Brief introduction to CPT 

Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is a well standardized method to find out the composition and properties of soils, without taking a sample. This can be very useful since sampling is fairly time consuming and thus expensive. In addition, soil sampling is sometimes difficult due to compactness of the soil layer and equipments used.

The standard probe these days would measure the following parameters:


    Pore Pressure (U) : The water pressure generated as the probe is moving through the soil

    Point Resistance (Q) : The force required to penetrate the soil

    Friction (F) : The force generated at the side of the probe as it moves.

Compared to most other non-sampling methods of investigation, such as SPT, Cone Penetration Test has many benefits. A few CPT Benefits  Compared to SPT and other non-sampling methods are:

  • Well standardized method

  • Test result likely be comparable regardless of which operator does the test. Extensive Geotechnical knowledge not required.

  • Test results likely to be independent on equipment manufacturer or firm

  • In-situ test which means accurate results independent of death (rod friction doesn't affect result)
