In situ tests in a sand dune
Keyword(s):
A field testing program using an electric piezocone penetrometer (CPTU) and a flat dilatometer (DMT) probe was carried out in a sand dune. The analysis of the field data in terms of relative density using current empirical correlations showed that significant differences were obtained at this site. It is suggested that any empirical correlation between relative density and CPT or DMT data obtained from calibration chambers should only be used for a sand that has the same slope of the steady-state line as the sand used in the calibration tests. Key words: sand, in situ density, field investigation, piezocone penetrometer, flat dilatometer, steady state.
