... years) and comparing them with virgin crushed aggregate (CA) base materials of similar service life. Coring of flexible pavement surface layers at 18 pavement sites was performed to expose the base course layer materials for sampling and testing. Then, the dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) test...

...G. Malek; M. Khamehchiyan; M. R. Nikoudel; K. Moradi Harsini Despite the high performance of dynamic penetration tests such as dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) for assessing the engineering properties of site materials, they are not efficient for vertical soil walls. To deal with this issue...

... by cutting a core from the soil mass. According to ASTM D6951-09 (2009) the soil density may be estimated if the soil type and moisture content are known from the dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) penetration rate. The DCP test is a soil-penetration test that is used for the measurement of sub-grade strength...

... of this study is the development and application of an instrumented dynamic cone penetrometer (IDCP) to evaluate the dynamic cone tip responses by considering the energy transferred into the cone tip. As the preliminary study on the development of the IDCP, the energy losses caused by the rod connection...

...Mark R. Muszynski Miniature dynamic cone penetrometer (mDCP) tests were completed to investigate the general effect that particle shape and size gradation may have on penetration resistance. This testing provides preliminary results for planning purposes for a future testing program...

... two passes of the roller the dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) test was conducted on the compacted layer alongside the sand replacement test to determine the level of compaction. A correlation was made between the sand replacement and the DCP tests resulting in a calibration equation of the general form...
