Скачать или смотреть CPT- Cone Penetration Test

It's a vital instrument that helps us determine the physical properties of soil, influencing the planning and design process of our infrastructure.

Here's how it works: A device with a cone on the end is pushed into the soil at a steady rate, measuring the resistance and friction encountered during penetration. These data points are then analyzed and transformed into valuable information about soil characteristics, like density, consistency, or degree of compactness.

However, like any technology, the CPT has its limitations. It might struggle in very hard or coarse-grained soils and does not directly measure certain soil properties, such as mineralogy or the presence of contaminants. Also, interpreting CPT results can be challenging, particularly in complex soil conditions.
