Question

For determining subsurface soil conditions compare between the static cone penetrometer and standard penetration test methods.

Expert Solution

Step 1 Introduction:-

The Penetration tests are done to find out the bearing capacity of the soil. There are various types of penetration test. The static cone penetrometer and standard penetration methods are the type of tests done to find out the bearing capacity using the penetration methods. It involves the measurement of resistance to penetration of cone or the spoon sampling or other cross section tools .It is carried out under static or dynamic loadings. It helps in finding the depth of bed rock or hard stratum.
