Measurement of Soil Parameters by Using Penetrometer Needle Apparatus
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT : In this research a simple practical was applied to determine soil parameters using penetrometer needle apparatus. Penetration tests were performed on both coarse and fine sands. Different sands densities and penetration disk diameter were applied in the tests. Correlations between applied normal stresses and resulting penetration distances were obtained. Correlations between soil densities and applied stresses were then determined. These correlations were used to estimate different soil parameters.
