The attached notes are a preliminary, simplified description of the interpretation, use and design methods for Cone Penetration Testing (CPTs) in Ground Engineering.
Detailed analysis of CPTs can be a complex subject and a number of papers have been written on this subject. A number of these papers have been summarised to some extent in A.C. Meigh's book "Cone Penetration Testing - Methods and Interpretation" (Ref. 1) and reference should be made to this for a more detailed study of the subject. It is hoped that the following notes give a simplified introduction to CPTs and takes away some of the myth of the "Black Art"; thereby allowing the average design engineer to appreciate the benefits of CPTs and their use in everyday Ground Engineering working situations.
