Abstract

This research is to study, design, construct and test a cone penetrometer to
determine the relation between cone resistance and cone depth Electric motor
transmits speed to worm gear to drive the cone penetrometer with 30°· cone into
the soil linearly with constant velocity and without rotation. Input signal of strain
from strain gage on the load cell is read from strain meter and the cone depth is
simultaneously recorded by recordmg the time during push rod penetrate in to the
soil. As a result, cone resistance can be calculated and then plot curve between
pressure on the soil and depth to determine the soil profile
