Cone Penetration Test (CPT)

  • A method used to determine the Geotechnical

properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy.

CPT Program @ MoDOT

  • The program got started

in 1997.

  • The main goal was to

use digital technology to accurately determine geotechnical properties

  • f soils.
  • To accurately predict

static resistance of a driven pile using both tip and sleeve resistance to derive this.

  • To be used alternative

to Standard Penetration Test (SPT).

SPT VS CPT

  • Its fair to say that CPT provides a better soil

characterization than SPT. When no improvements are made to the current SPT method, with all its variations and uncertainties , the split spoon should be placed in the same cabinet as the slide rule and the fax machine.

SPT VS CPT

Use in Missouri:

  • Southeast District – Bootheel of Missouri
  • Counties - 7
  • Bridge Count – 697
  • Geology – Quaternary System (>250’ of sand)

SPT VS CPT

SPT

  • Very messy process
  • Long turnaround time
  • Inaccurate blow counts
  • Operator errors

CPT

  • No Bentonite required
  • Quicker turnaround time
  • Accurate blow counts
  • Minimized operator errors
