Shg DPT

Plugin computing dynamic penetrometer test (DPT) cone resistance.

Input data

• Dynamic penetrometer test (DPL, DPM, DPH, DPSH-B).
• DPT's blowcount each 10 cm (N₁₀) or 20cm (N₂₀).

Computing parameters

• Heigth of fall (meter),
• Hammer mass (kg),
• Anvil mass (kg),
• Rod length (meter) : the length of one rod,
• Rod mass (kg) : the mass of one rod,
• Changing rod height (meter): the ground exceeding rod length, when adding a new rod,
• Cone mass (kg),
• Cone section (cm²).

Result

Computing using the Dutch formula:

• Q_d : the dynamic cone resistance.
