Treatment

Following Systems are develop

  1. Force measurement: Penetration force measure by the S-type load cell (strain gauge) and its capacity about 200 kg
  2. Cone specification: Standard size of steel cone and rod are using

1- Cone diameter 27.20 mm and bar diameter 18.15 mm for soft soils and  

Cone angle 30-degree cone

  1. Depth measurement: Ultra-Sonic sensor
  2. Data acquisition system
  3. Frame:
  4. Hydraulic cylinder: Double acting, 60 cm length

Testing and evaluation of the device

Observation:

  • Cone index kg/cm2
  • Depth of penetration, cm
  • Soil moisture, %
