Research and Application of Intelligent Cone Dynamic Penetration Test System
Cone dynamic penetration test is a commonly used method for in-situ investigation of transportation engineering sites in China,which has the advantages of simple testing equipment,convenient operation,wide application range,and high operational efficiency.However,it also has the disadvantages of large testing errors and poor reproducibility.In order to improve the efficiency of the experiment and reduce manual errors,this article has developed a cone dynamic penetration test system,which includes an automated cone dynamic penetration test equipment and an intelligent platform.Its main advantages include:using a fully automatic drop hammer,the test speed can reach 20 hammers per minute,and only one person is needed to move during the detection process,which greatly improves on-site efficiency.The detection efficiency is 3 to 5 times higher than traditional methods.It can collect real-time data on probe penetration depth,number of hammer drops,and has the function of automatically issuing test reports.
