    That very different to a DCP we perform in Australia. I guess the technician here is augering compacted fill out a bit, to lower the resistance of the DCP so it doesnt give false readngs? Please correct me if im wrong.

    5:27 - 5:33. I Love it. Exactly right. Theoretical and Correlations are all well and good for some applications, and gives us limited but some good information. An experienced field inspector is very valuable. Those blow counts mean nothing when you add more water to the equation, and have nothing to do with relative compaction.

    • @Raph0ne
      @Raph0ne Před 2 lety

      Based on what I currently study I can relate to two points.. 1. Having Clay that much won't help because of consistency (Harder to make it compact as the grains have around the same diameter) 2. As I know that Clay it's not really an Aquifer so it can prevent Water from draining deeper like you suggested BUT I think this will cause Liquidification in the soil above it - means that water will reduce the strength of Soil.. OMG it's hard to translate to English 😶

    Seems a bit crude for penetrometer only usable in this form for residential not for skyscrappers you probably want a more continuous digital penetrometer capable of accurately giving you the kips or N /mm^2 values that you then can uses to know if you have enough compaction to build on.

    We can correlate the relative density (compaction) of the fill to the DCP value. However, the drop of the the hammering should be free fall. I don not think that was free fall.

  • @jonathangreenawalt5724

    This is a dynamic cone penetration test. Your not suppose to reverse bang the weight when moving the weight to the top when setting it to drop. That causes the cone to pop out of the hole and mess up the reading. When setting the cone up for the first test the cone has a flanged end which needs to be at ground level or the next increment level down and not driven down like he said which prematurely compacts the soil. That alters the test results.

      +administrator1112 It is a bearing capacity test. This method describes the test used to evaluate the thickness and bearing capacity of the grade (and sub grade if using a hand boring device) using the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer. I use it to determine footing (column and continuous footings) bearing capacity.
