cote / profondeur de refus Explanation: refusal (depth) : la profondeur de refus, au-delà de laquelle le cône du pénétromètre ne s'enfonce plus "Penetration depth less than 1 mm and exceeding 20 blows is considered as refusal." http://www.highways.gov.sk.ca/240-20/ " A cone penetrometer uses hydraulic pressure, up to 40,000 pounds, to push a cone-shaped steel device below the surface. Sensors attached to the cone take measurements. Traditional CPT measurements recorded cone-tip pressure and friction and correlated the results with a soil type index. New wireline CPT sensors are interchangeable and detect the presence of contaminants in real time. "One major concern is the refusal depth, the below-surface level at which the CPT tool cannot penetrate. Refusal depth occurs when the tool cannot travel any farther below the surface. DOE tests indicate the CPT tool has a refusal depth of 151 feet below ground surface whereas conventional systems have a refusal depth of 146 feet below ground surface, making the CPT tool a superior choice for the characterization of site contaminants."

Reference: EN term wrong Reference information: should be refusals: as in "subbase and subgrade using the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP). 1.2. ... Upon reaching the desired depth or refusal, the instrument is withdrawn." |
