CPT Applications: Deep Foundation Design 

One of the most important things to consider with deep foundation design is the sediment type and conditions. Determining the quality and strengths of the sediment  will reduce your risk and aid in determining load bearing capacity. This information is critical in deep foundation design as the load capacity of the sediment will determine the […]

Cone Penetration Testing Applications: River Erosion Mitigation

Subsurface sediment stability is one of the most essential factors in the design and construction of any foundation, whether it be a natural feature like a riverbank or a manufactured structure like a building. The composition of the sediment, as well as its density and moisture content, all play a role in how stable a […]

Cone Penetration Testing Applications: Dams and Levees

Dams and levees are essential to our society. They protect us from floods and other natural disasters, and the consequences can be disastrous if they fail. Cone Penetration Testing, or CPT, is a subsurface investigation method that can be used to determine the strength and stability of the ground supporting these massive structures. This high-resolution […]

Soil Compaction Test the Easy Way

What is a soil compaction test? Soil compaction happens when soil particles are pressed together, reducing pore space between them. Heavily compacted soils contain few large pores, less total pore volume, and a greater density.  In the construction of high load structures such as dams, paved roadways, and construction projects that rely on the stability of embankments; soil compaction is […]

Cone Penetration Testing and Ground Improvement Quality Assurance

Ground improvement and stabilization are two important aspects of any construction or engineering project. When it comes to ground improvement, several different techniques can be used, which can be complex and require a high degree of precision. Cone penetration testing or CPT and ground improvement are becoming synonymous as more engineering firms and government agencies […]
