In this study, an instrumented dynamic cone penetrometer incorporated with time domain
reflectometry (IDPT) is developed to provide portable in-situ penetrometer for evaluation of …

Subgrade strength is an important aspect to be considered when designing unsurfaced
roads and working platforms for pavement structures. Furthermore, dynamic cone …

Abstract Evaluation of the strength and stiffness of compacted geo-materials is required to
ensure that it has sufficient bearing capacity and stiffness to the acting loads. In this study, a …

For the efficient management of geo-infrastructures in the field, engineering properties of the
subgrade should be reliably and rapidly investigated. The objective of this study is to …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of hammer weight and drop height on
compression stress, transferred energy, and strength index in loose layer. An instrumented …

Subsurface characterization is essential for a successful infrastructure design and
construction. This paper demonstrates the use of an instrumented cone penetrometer (ICP) …

Uncertainties in the driving energy transferred to the split spoon sampler (E sampler) cause
inaccuracies of the standard penetration test (SPT) N values. In this study, an energy …

To assess the condition of the geomaterials composing unpaved roads subjected to cyclic
wheel loads by moving vehicles, it is necessary to evaluate the variations in mechanical …

Dynamic cone resistance (DCR) is a recently introduced soil resistance index that has the
unit of stress. It is determined from the dynamic response at the tip of an instrumented …

This study aims to investigate the dynamic cone penetration index (DCPI) and dynamic
responses during instrumented dynamic cone penetration test at fixed-end condition (eg …
