• Abstract:
  The ODOT Office of Geotechnical ; Engineering (OGE) currently uses ; conventional drilling methods (e.g., hollow ; stem auger, solid stem auger) to perform ; subsurface investigations in soil. These ; techniques have been used for decades and ; have the advantage of a long track record of ; experience and success within the state. ; These methods are, however, timeconsuming ; and expensive to perform, do not ; provide continuous data with depth, and are ; not well suited to some types of geologic and ; environmental conditions. Over the last 20 ; years, cone penetration testing (CPT) has ; been gaining acceptance in the U.S. and is ; now often used as an alternative or ; complementary procedure to conventional ; drilling in the performance of subsurface ; investigations. ODOT funded this project to ; investigate how CPT technology might be ; utilized to improve the quality and efficiency ; of ODOT’s subsurface investigation ; program.
