The use of a new quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) specification involving Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing in concert with conventional moisture and density testing is becoming more and more frequent in various parts of the world. The need for this additional testing is essential, as the regular in-situ density tests cannot alone ensure the compliance of the layers constructed with the compaction requirements. Recent analyses of the correlation between the DCP testing and the California Bearing Ratio CBR testing show that QC and QA DCP testing is adequate to verify compaction, stability and vertical uniformity in both cohesive and granular soils. Two examples of DCP usage in two Israeli earthwork projects, one of clayey soils and the other of silty-sand soils, indicate the benefits of this usage along with, though for the clayey example only, Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) testing.

Jalan merupakan prasarana transportasi yang paling banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat Indonesia untuk melakukan mobilitas keseharian sehingga volume kendaraan yang melewati suatu ruas jalan mempengaruhi kapasitas dan kemampuan dukungnya. Kekuatan dan keawetan kontruksi perkerasan jalan sangat ditentukan oleh sifat-sifat daya dukung tanah dasar. Pengujian dilakukan dengan Calfornia Bearing Ratio (CBR) rendaman untuk bahan tanah timbunan, dan dengan Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) untuk prototipe subgrade jalan. Nilai CBR akan berbeda-beda sesuai dengan kedalaman lapisan yang diuji. Pada kedalaman 0-340 mm, 340-590 mm dan kedalaman 590-950 mm berturut-turut diperoleh nilai CBR rata-rata sebesar 7.62%, 19.67% dan 21.90%, lebih besar dari nilai CBR rencana yaitu 5.7%. Hal ini berarti subgrade memenuhi syarat kekuatan.
