• 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.
