SCPT Standard Cone Penetration Test
SCPT Standard Cone Penetration Test
SCPT (Standard Cone Penetration Test) is used to measure a tip’s resistance to penetration (with 60° or 90° opening) using a striker, to reconstruct a resistance profile expressed in the number of strikes per unit of advancement. Known correlations are used to establish a connection between the number of strikes and relative density (RD), and then to obtain other geotechnical parameters, the main one being the angle of friction. This type of testing is particularly suitable for incoherent terrains.
