Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Field Testing - Part 12: Mechanical Cone Penetration Test (CPTM)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 22476-12 standard outlines the requirements, execution, and reporting of mechanical cone penetration tests. It should be noted that the planning, evaluation, and application of test results are covered by EN1997-1 and EN1997-2.
This standard enables the evaluation of various soil properties and conditions, including stratification, soil type, soil density, in situ stress conditions, shear strength parameters, and deformation and consolidation characteristics. It provides specifications for the type of cone penetration test, the achievable penetration length or depth, the elevation of the ground surface or underwater ground surface at the test location, and the cone penetration test's position relative to a reproducible fixed location reference point.
Additionally, the standard addresses the method of backfilling the hole resulting from the test and, if applicable, the depths and duration of pore pressure dissipation tests.
