Soil crusting strongly affects seedling emergence. Laboratory experiments were carried out to analyse the emergence of sugar beet {Beta vulgaris L.) seedlings from beneath a crust, and to determine ...

Dynamic Cone Penetrometers (DCPs) have emerged as essential tools in geotechnical engineering, offering a rapid and cost‐effective method for in situ evaluation of soil strength and stiffness. Their ...

At the Arcadia flood risk management project, in Arcadia, Wisconsin, geotechnical staff are gathering data using a unique method of subsurface exploration. The Cone Penetrometer Test, or CPT, is one ...

We describe here a portable, electric penetrometer (PEP) for use in soft estuarine sediments. The PEP measures cone resistance, qc, and local unit side friction resistance, fs. It is composed of three ...
