What is CPT
The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is a method used to determine:
Geotechnical engineering properties of soils
Delineating soil stratigraphy
In the CPT, using a 200kN capacity electrical cone at the end of a rod is pushed or
penetrated continuously into the ground at a constant rate of 20mm/sec equipped with
internal sensor.
The measurements comprised of:
Penetration depth
Cone resistance / tip resistance (qc),
Sleeve friction (fs)
Pore pressures, u (CPTU a piezocone test) (Optional)
Friction Ratio, Fr (fs / qc)
Inclination
CPT vs the Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
Continuous
Operator Independent
Repeatability

CPT Processing
CPT Processing = Correcting / checking the raw CPT data
Processing using UNIPLOT.
The processing of CPTs consists of the following steps:

CPT Bearing Capacity Calculation
Valid only in cohesionless soil:

Bearing Pressure = qc / 40 (Footing of 1.0m width) (Indicative)
For larger width, check settlement if its 25mm or less
S = BC x B / 2qc
Where:
S - Settlement
BC - Bearing Capacity
B - Foundation width
Reminder:
DONT apply unless you have several meters of sand below footing level with consistent qc.
Reduce the obtained value by 30% if you want to apply for STRIP of the same width.
Use only for 1.0m, 1.50m and up to 3.0m.
