CALIBRATION CHAMBER TESTS OF A CONE PENETROMETER IN SAND

The results of a series of tests using a cone penetrometer in sand in a large calibration chamber are reported. Sand at three different densities and a range of stress states was studied. The principal finding from the tests is that cone resistance in sand depends primarily on the horizontal stress...
