PENETRATION TESTS

Static penetration tests have not been used as widely in the U.S. as they have been in other parts of the world. This translation of "Penetrometer and Soil Exploration: Interpretation of Penetration Diagrams: Theory and Practice" is a storehouse of information which will provide English speaking engineers with an insight into the merits of static penetrometers as routine tools for design investigation.
