Engineering Soil Parameters From Seismic Cone Penetrometer Tests - An Overview

Since the introduction of the seismic cone penetrometer test in the early 1980s significant progress has been made in<br>the analysis and interpretation of the collected data. The basic equipment, test and data reduction are reviewed. The<br>current methods available for evaluating liquefaction using penetration resistance and normalized shear wave velocity<br>are presented and discussed, as is the recently developed method for evaluating sand compressibility from penetration<br>resistance and shear wave velocity.
