Can Cone Penetration Testing Measure the Resilient Modulus of Soils?

Abstract

Researchers evaluated the feasibility of using Cone Penetration Testing data to estimate resilient modulus in the field and to identify organic soils. Results show that while the statistical analysis model used by researchers was not sufficient to evaluate resilient modulus or organic soil content, this study provides groundwork for enhancing this model to further the use of CPT in the field.
