Determination of undrained strengths by cone penetration tests.

Calculations have been presented for the loads on a cone penetrometer in a cohesive material, with the validity of the calculations being limited at present to a penetrometer near the surface of a soil. The undrained strength of a cohesive soil could therefore be back-analysed from measurements of l...
