Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Field Testing - Part 1: Electrical Cone and Piezocone Penetration Test
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 22476-1 standard provides guidelines and requirements for conducting electrical cone and piezocone penetration tests in geotechnical investigations.
The standard outlines the procedure for conducting the electrical cone penetration test, which involves pushing a cone penetrometer into the soil at a constant rate of penetration. The test measures cone resistance and sleeve friction, which are recorded during the penetration. The piezocone penetration test, a variation of the CPT, also measures pore pressures around the cone.
The test results obtained from the electrical cone and piezocone penetration tests can be used to interpret soil stratification, classify soil type, and evaluate engineering soil parameters. These results are particularly useful for determining a soil profile, either independently or in conjunction with other in situ tests.
The DIN EN ISO 22476-1 standard provides specifications for the equipment required, as well as guidelines for executing the tests and reporting the results. It ensures that the tests are carried out consistently and accurately, in accordance with the relevant geotechnical investigation and testing standards.
