Significance and Use4.1 Environmental site characterization projects almost al-ways require information regarding subs

34、urface soil stratigra-phy and hydraulic parameters related to ground water flow rateand direction. Soil stratigraphy often is determined by variousdrilling procedures and interpreting the data collected onborehole logs. The electronic piezocone penetrometer test isanother means of determining soil s

35、tratigraphy that may befaster, less expensive, and provide greater resolution of the soilunits than conventional drilling and sampling methods. Forenvironmental site characterization applications, the electronicpiezocone also has the additional advantage of not generatingcontaminated cuttings that m

36、ay present other disposal prob-lems (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 15). Investigators may obtain soilsamples from adjacent borings for correlation purposes, butprior information or experience in the same area may precludeD6067 102the need for borings (1). Most cone penetrometer rigs areequipped with direct p

37、ush soil samplers (Guide D6282) thatcan be used to confirm soil types.4.2 The electronic piezocone penetration test is an in situinvestigation method involving:4.2.1 Pushing an electronically instrumented probe into theground (see Fig. 1 for a diagram of a typical cone penetrom-eter). The position o

38、f the pore pressure element may vary butis typically located in the u2position (Test Method D5778).4.2.2 Recording force resistances, such as tip resistance,local friction, and pore water pressure.4.2.3 Data interpretation.4.2.3.1 The most common use of the interpreted data isstratigraphy based on s

39、oil behavior types. Several charts areavailable. A typical CPT soil behavior type classification chartis shown in Figs. 2 and 3 (9). The first step in determining theextent and motion of contaminants is to determine the subsur-face stratigraphy. Since the contaminants will migrate withground water f

40、lowing through the more permeable strata, it isimpossible to characterize an environmental site without validstratigraphy. Cone penetrometer data has been used as astratigraphic tool for many years. The pore pressure channel ofthe cone can be used to determine the depth to the water tableor to locat

41、e perched water zones.4.2.3.2 Hydraulic conductivity can be estimated based onsoil behavior type (Figs. 4 and 5). These estimates span two tothree orders of magnitude. Alternately, pore pressure data (4.5)can be used for refined estimates of hydraulic conductivity.4.3 When attempting to retrieve a s

42、oil gas or water sample,it is advantageous to know where the bearing zones (permeablezones) are located. Although soil gas and water can beretrieved from on-bearing zones such as clays, the length oftime required usually makes it impractical. Soil gas and watersamples can be retrieved much faster fr

43、om permeable zones,such as sands. The cone penetrometer tip and friction datagenerally can identify and locate the bearing zones andnonbearing zones less than a foot thick very accurately.4.4 The electronic cone penetrometer test is used in avariety of soil types. Lightweight equipment with reaction

44、weights of less than 10 tons generally are limited to soils withrelatively small grain sizes. Typical depths obtained are 20 to40 m, but depths to over 70 m with heavier equipmentweighing 20 tons or more are not uncommon. Since penetra-tion is a direct result of vertical forces and does not includer

45、otation or drilling, it cannot be utilized in rock or heavilycemented soils. Depth capabilities are a function of manyfactors including:4.4.1 The force resistance on the tip,4.4.2 The friction along the push rods,4.4.3 The force and reaction weight available,4.4.4 Rod support provided by the soil, a

Local experience isdesirable.4.5 Pore Pressure Data:4.5.1 Excess pore water pressure data often are used in

47、environmental site characterization projects to identify thin soillayers that will either be aquifers or aquitards. The porepressure channel often can detect these thin layers even if theyare less than 20 mm thick.4.5.2 Excess pore water pressure data taken during push areused to provide an indicati

48、on of relative hydraulic conductivity.Excess pore water pressure is generated during an electroniccone penetrometer test. Generally, high excess pore waterpressure indicates the presence of aquitards (clays), and lowexcess pore water pressure indicates the presence of aquifers(sands). This is not al

49、ways the case, however. For example,some silty sands and over-consolidated soils generate negativepore pressures if monitored above the shoulder of the cone tip.See Fig. 1. The balance of the data, therefore, also must beevaluated. There have been methods proposed to estimatehydraulic conductivity from excess pore water pressure mea-surements (10, 14, 16).4.5.3 Dissipation Tests:4.5.3.1 In general, since the ground water flows primarilythrough sands and not clays, modeling the flow through thesands is most critical. The pore pressure data also can bem
