One such tool is the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) which is used to determine the strength of subgrade and base layers. It is used by Mn/DOT and Mn/ROAD to conduct pavement research …

1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the pen-etration rate of the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer with an 8-kg hammer (8-kg DCP) through undisturbed soil and/or com-pacted materials.

The tool can disable the DPC (as required for calibration), and then moves the Test PICC from a defined start position above the center of the antenna down to the center position 000 in small steps.

This method describes the determination of the rate of penetration of the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) into a natural or compacted material by virtue of the built-in-hammer.

This method describes the determination of the rate of penetration of the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) into a natural or compacted material by virtue of the built-in sliding hammer.

Jan 17, 2008 · This report focuses on developing standard test methods and model specifications, using both the DCP and the LWD for quality assurance. When compared to current practices, these testing …

An automatic DCP (Figure 4) has been developed which is trailer mounted and automatically applies the hammer action and extraction of the apparatus after the test. The test data is automatically recorded …
