A Dynamic Cone Penetrometer for Measuring Soil Penetration Resistance
ters to characterize both agricultural and rangeland A DYNAMIC CONE PENETROMETER soils, however, has been limited by concerns about (i) FOR MEASURING SOIL instrument cost, (ii) measurement repeatability, (iii) limited ranges of soil resistance that can be measured by PENETRATION RESISTANCE a single penetrometer, and (iv) difficulties in comparing Jeffrey E. Herrick* and Tim L. Jones data collec...
متن کاملEffect of microbial activity on penetrometer resistance and elastic modulus of soil at different temperatures
We explore the effect of microbial activity stimulated by root exudates on the penetrometer resistance of soil and its elastic modulus. This is important because it is a measure of the mechanical strength of soil and it correlates closely with the rate of elongation of roots. A sandy soil was incubated with a synthetic root exudate at different temperatures, for different lengths of time and wi...
متن کاملPit Latrine Fecal Sludge Resistance Using a Dynamic Cone Penetrometer in Low Income Areas in Mzuzu City, Malawi
Pit latrines can provide improved household sanitation, but without effective and inexpensive emptying options, they are often abandoned once full and may pose a public health threat. Emptying techniques can be difficult, as the sludge contents of each pit latrine are different. The design of effective emptying techniques (e.g., pumps) is limited by a lack of data characterizing typical in situ...
متن کاملNear-surface VSP surveys using the seismic cone penetrometer
We have found that high-quality vertical seismic profile (VSP) data can be collected for near-surface applications using the seismic cone penetrometer. Conemounted accelerometers are used as the VSP receivers, and a sledgehammer against the cone truck baseplate is used as a source. This technique eliminates the need to drill a borehole, thereby reducing the cost of the survey, and results in a ...
متن کاملPlasticity Effect on Residual Stresses Measurement Using Contour Method
Residual stresses have become an important player in the field of the structural integrity for many years. Having an exact knowledge of residual stress distributions can be essential in designing the engineering components as unexpected failures are inevitable where such stresses are ignored. There are many residual stresses measurement techniques including destructive and non-destructive ones...
