FIELD TESTING OF INCLINED CONE PENETRATION

The measurements of tip resistance and sleeve friction are expected to be somewhat different between vertical cone penetration tests (CPTs) and inclined cone penetration tests (ICPT). To investigate this effect further, a field testing program of inclined cone penetration was performed in three different locations with varying soil characteristics in Louisiana. The paper discusses the corresponding test results. In addition, a simple model that takes into consideration the initial stress anisotropy is used to explain the differences of tip resistance measurements between CPTs and ICPT.
