    The document provides instructions for using a load ring penetrometer to test soils. It describes how to assemble the penetrometer by attaching the handle to penetration rods with a conical point. It instructs the operator to hold the penetrometer vertically and control the penetration rate of 13 mm/sec while applying pressure. It explains how to calculate the penetration pressure from the load reading and depth, and then determine the undrained shear strength of the soil.

    To assemble the penetrometer screw the handle to the penetration rods equipped with the conical
    point.
    During the test the operator must hold the penetrometer in a vertical position and control the rate of
    penetration by steading his arms against his legs and at the same time applying pressure to the
    penetrometer handle.
    The conical point should penetrate in the soil at the rate of 13 mm/sec.
    Calculate the penetration pressure qc dividing the load, recorded by the proving ring, by the cross
    section (*) of the point and plot it against the depth of penetration.
    Obtain the undrained shear strength Cu of the soil from the following relationship:

    Cu =

    qc - sv 0
    Nq

    sv0 = total geostatic pressure calculated at the depth of investigation.


    Nq = 15 for normally consolidated soils
    Nq = 20 for overconsolidated soils
