Question

Write down the practical limitations to information provided by soil borings and cone penetration tests?

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Cone penetration test: Cone penetration is an in-site method to determine the properties of soils. it the most acceptable method. The data obtained by this method is very reliable.

Some of the limitations of a cone penetration test are given as,

1. Soil sample not obtained

2. depth limited

3.. Normally cant push through gravel.

4. Requires special equipment and skilled labor.

5. Use in coarser and permeable soils. (sand)

6. High capital investment.
