1. INTRODUCTION
The present report has the goal to describe the geotechnical investigation campaign performed by
piezocone penetration testing – CPTu, executed for Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul,
at Experimental Landfill, in Joinville/SC.
Field work was performed between 06/24/2014 and 06/27/2014.
The present geotechnical investigation contemplated:
• Seven (07) cone penetration testing – CPTu.
URS-01-GRE-02

2. RECEIVED DOCUMENTS
Were provided for the report execution:

• Pile Location Map (Appendix I);
• Tests elevations and coordinates.

3. CONE PENETRATION TESTING (CPTu)
3.1. Standards
• NBR 12069/91 - Solo - Ensaio de penetração de cone in situ (CPT);

• PROC-INV-04 – Ensaio de penetração de cone com medida de poropressão – CPTu;
• ASTM D-5778-07 - Standard test method for performing electronic friction cone and
piezocone testing of soils.
3.2. Procedures
Cone Penetration Testing CPTu
Cone penetration testing with pore pressure measurement are used to stratigraphic determination
of soils profile, determining properties of materials prospected, particularly in deposits of soft clays
and prediction of bearing capacity of foundations. The test provides cone resistance, friction and
pore pressure data.
Test consists in a static spiking of a rod into soil, which at it lower end a conic tip, as showed in
Figure 1, (vertex angle of 60°) and cross section of 10 cm2.
Figure 1 – Cone system.

URS-01-GRE-02

Tests were performed by a static penetrometer from Italy (Pagani) with a reaction capacity of 200
kN (20 tf). Hydraulic system of penetrometers is triggered by a diesel engine achieving the reaction
through helical anchors. Tip and electronic devices used are from Fugro Engineers B.V..
Regarding pore pressure measurements, all standards procedures of the maintenance of system
saturation were observed. Regarding all tests, the tip was spiked at a constant speed, about 2
cm/s. Cone used was number 3634.
While rods are spiked into soil data is gathered each 2 cm depth, providing the following
information:
• Cone resistance (qc);

• Friction (fs), measured in a glove with lateral area of 150 cm2;
• Pore pressure, measured using a porous bronze element, locate at cone tip (u2);
• Inclination angle of cone tip regarding vertical.
These magnitudes are measured through precise instrumentation, well calibrated, installed at the
end of calibration set up, data are transmitted to surface by a cable system. Data are gathered,
transferred and stored in a computer. Tests results may be visualized in real time.
Tests involved execution of pre-drill, so the superficial landfill layer and/or resistance layer and
always hit the saturated zone.
Friction reducer was used in order to reduce friction in subsequent rods
3.3. Location, Amount and Depth of Tests
Seven (07) cone penetration testing were performed. Maximum depth reached and pre-boring
depth are showed on Table 3.1.

3.4. Results
Cone Penetration Testing CPTu
Tests results are showed on graphics of Appendix II, which indicates variation with depth of:
• Total cone resistance (qt), given by qt = qc + (1 - a) u2, a = 0,75 (calibration value);

• Friction (fs);
• Friction ratio (Rf), given by Rf = fs/qc;
• Pore pressure (u2).
Furthermore, the graphics presents in Appendix II may be used to stratigraphic classification of soil
behavior, based on Robertson et al. (1986) method. Figure 1 represents classification abacus.

4. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
All soundings and tests have the goal to gather punctual geotechnical information.
After the end of the tests, the hole were properly closed using coli (cement with bentonite).
Fugro In Situ Geotecnia Ltda. makes itself available to provide any additional information that may
be necessary.
