Application of wave equation theory to improve dynamic cone penetration test for shallow soil characterisation

Among the geotechnical in situ tests, the dynamic penetration test (DPT) is commonly used around the world. However, DPT remains a rough technique and provides only one failure parameter: blow count or cone resistance. This paper presents an improvement of the dynamic cone penetration test (DCPT) fo...
