Cone Penetration Testing: Methods and Interpretation discusses the history, applications, and development of the cone penetration test procedures and related test procedures.
The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 deals with the cone penetration test proper - its general and historical outline, equipment and their accuracy and calibration, the use of the test results, and its parameters in different kinds of soils and materials. Part 2 covers the role and use of piezocones and its use for the assessment of soil.
The text is recommended for engineers and geologists who would like to know more about the applications of the pressuremeter and the interpretation of its results.
