| Abstract | Nowadays cone penetration test is the most used and accepted in-situ test methods for soil investigation worldwide. It is to determine the GEO technical engineering properties of soils. It was initially used in 1950s at the Dutch Lab for soil Mechanics so that it has also been called the Dutch cone test. Cone penetration tests are conducted to measure and evaluate characteristics of certain soils (soft sensitive silt sand clays and some coarse cohesion less soils) such as stratification, Soil type, Relative soil density and in-situ stress conditions and Shear strength parameters. The wide use of cone penetrometers, only approximate theories are available to evaluate the shear strength parameters from the measured cone penetration resistance or "cone index." The resistance of penetrometers having various cone apex angles is determined by this method for a range of soil properties. Cone index is defined as the ratio of the soil resistance to the base area of the cone. The results from CPT may also be used, directly, for design of piled foundations in sand and gravel. Indirectly, it can be used (shear strength) for clay. In this research the sample soils are penetrate with different four kinds of cones with different densities and the result are plotted to show how the value of cone index increases with increasing apex angle and how related with the test results of their load , stresses and effect of cone shape in the cone penetration test. |
