| The project focuses on the static penetration test with a seismic cone, known as the SCPTu test. Using a hammer impact, shear waves - signals propagating through the medium - are generated, which are used as one of the methods for characterization and evaluation of soils in geotechnical practice. However, this method of testing the subsoil is only a secondary principle of the test. The primary principle of the static penetration test is the cyclic insertion of a measuring cone together with rods at a constant rate, providing a continuous image of the tested soil subgrade. The aim of the project is to evaluate and compare the results of SCPTu with other geotechnical methods and to examine procedures for processing SCPTu signals. A partial objective is to design a computational environment for evaluating the SCPTu test. This work could bring new knowledge and improve the efficiency and accuracy of geotechnical tests, which may contribute to greater reliability of geotechnical designs and structures. |
