1 PP Rahardjo & T Lunne (eds) In Situ Measurements and Case Histories, Bandung, Indonesia, 21, pp Horizontal Cone Penetration Testing in Sand W Broere Geotechnical Laboratory, Delt University o Technology, The Netherlands AF van Tol Rotterdam Public Works, The Netherlands Geotechnical Laboratory, Delt University o Technology, The Netherlands ABSTRACT: The cone resistance and sleeve riction measured when a penetration test is executed in the horizontal direction dier rom those obtained when sounding in the traditional vertical direction In order to quantiy the dierences a number o tests has been executed in a 2m diameter rigid wall calibration chamber on sands with dierent densities and dierent gradations These tests have shown that the dierence between horizontal and vertical cone resistance is greatest or medium dense sands, but show little dependancy on the gradation o the sand The ratio o horizontal over vertical sleeve riction on the other hand shows little variation or dierent densities, but is strongly dependant on the coarseness o the sand 1 INTRODUCTION The cone penetration test (CPT) is traditionally executed in a downward vertical direction in order to obtain inormation about the soil properties and stratiication The interpretation o the obtained measurements is subsequently made using analytical and empirical models, as well as experience, which all implicitely or explicitely use the assumption that the penetration direction is vertical This is in general not regarded as a problem and the measures taken to limit the delection rom the vertical during penetration, or to measure this delection and correct or it, do not originate rom the possible problem in the interpretation o cone resistance Those measures are taken because the delection might lead to unacceptable errors in the depth registration and thereby the stratigraphy The introduction o mechanised tunnel boring in sot and strongly heterogeneous soils, as ound in many delta-areas over the world, has given rise to a need or more detailed inormation along the alignment o the tunnel At the same time the possibility has been created to obtain this inormation using cone penetration tests originating rom the tunnel boring machine in a horizontal orward direction, and it has been recognised that this could complement the inormation gained rom vertical CPTs Initiatives have also been unurled to execute horizontal CPTs through retaining walls o building pits to investigate the soil conditions below adjacent buildings, or through existing railway embankments and land ills, without disturbing the topside actvities Now the equipment used to perorm a vertical CPT can be easily converted to execute a horizontal cone penetration test (HCPT) The interpretation is not so easily converted however It has been recognised by Houlsby & Hitchman (1988) that the eective horizontal stress σ h is the controlling stress component in traditional CPT calibration chamber tests on sand In vertical CPT this is the stress that acts in the plane perpendicalur to the penetration direction, and in this plane can be considered a radially uniorm stress component In the case o HCPT the stress state perpendicular to the cone is not radially uniorm, as it will vary between σ h and the eective vertical stress σ v Combined with the act that most soils have been deposited in a layerwise manner, it is to be expected that the measurements obtained rom HCPT dier rom those in vertical CPT 11 HCPT experiences This dierence between horizontal and vertical CPT has already been observed in calibration chamber tests as well as in ield tests The calibration chamber tests by Broere & van Tol (1998) were perormed in a uniormly distributed ine sand and showed a horizontal cone resistance q H c greater than the vertical cone resistance q V c at the same depth The horizontal cone resistance was on average 12 times the vertical or medium densiied sands, whereas the ratio was closer to one or very loose or dense sands The horizontal riction ratio on the other hand was clearly lower than the vertical riction ratio, but showed little dependancy on the density o the sand A similar image can be derived rom the ield measurements by van Deen et al (1999) The main part o the tests was executed in sot clay and peat layers 1
2 PP Rahardjo & T Lunne (eds) In Situ Measurements and Case Histories, Bandung, Indonesia, 21, pp instead o sands, but shows similar trends The horizontal cone resistance measured was greater than the vertical, even up to three times greater in clay And again the horizontal riction ratio was on average lower than the vertical And although on one hand these results strengthen the results rom the calibration chamber tests, they also indicate that there may be an inluence o the soil type 12 Reseach aims It has been recognised early on that the measurements rom CPT in sand depend not only on the stress level and (relative) density, but amongst others also on the grain size distribution o the material and the amount o ines present See or example the overview o soil classiication charts presented by Lunne et al (1997) or the comparison o numerous calibration chamber tests by Jamiolkowski (1988) It is also very likely that HCPT measurements show a similar dependancy on the gradation o sand, but this dependancy is not necessarily exactly equal Thereore the ratio o horizontal over vertical cone resistance (qc H/V ) and the ratio o horizontal over vertical sleeve riction ( H/V S ) may also depend on the soil type In order to investigate this behaviour a number o tests has been executed in the large rigid wall calibration chamber o Delt University o Technology (DUT) These tests have been limited to sand samples, as the preparation o large, homogeneous, cohesive samples in a calibration chamber is diicult and timeconsuming Three dierent sands have been used, which have been prepared at various densities Within each sample two vertical and one horizontal CPT has been made and the measurements at the depth o the HCPTh have been compared 2 THE CALIBRATION CHAMBER The DUT calibration chamber is a 2m diameter rigid wall calibration chamber, as sketched in igure 1 At the bottom o the tank a system o ilter drains connected to a pumping system is embedded in the sand This system allows luidisation o the sand bed within the tank A couple o vibrators aixed to the sides o the tank can be used to vibrate the entire tank and thereby densiy the sand To prepare a sample the sand is irst luidised and, when ully liquiied, the water is allowed to drain The vibrators are then used or a period o to 8 minutes, dependant on the relative densiy o the sand that is required Ater that the remaining water is allowed to drain and the density o the sample is determined by measuring the top level o the sand The preparation method used, luidisation instead o the more common pluviation, is one o the main dierences between the DUT calibration chamber and most other chambers The great advantage o this ztop Vibrator Upper sounding lock Lower sounding lock 19 Figure 1 DUT calibration chamber Fluidisation system method is that the preparation o the sample is so labour-extensive; a new sample can be prepared each day, requiring only one man-hour actual work during this period The disadvantages are that the samples are somewhat less homogeneous over the height o the sample than pluviated samples, that due to the luidisation process ines may slowly be washed out o the sand used, and that the obtained sample is unsaturated but not dry, and that the level o saturation depends on the permeability o the sand and the draining time This last problem can be circumvented completely, as the chamber allows the testing o ully saturated samples as well, but this option has not been used in this test series The other major dierence is that the DUT chamber is a rigid wall calibration chamber, meaning that the lateral boundaries are sti and disallow any deormation o the sample This in contrast to the oten used lexible wall chambers, where a pressurised membrane is used at the lateral boundaries to keep a constant lateral pressure As is common the lower boundary is the sti chamber loor, whereas at the top an overburden load could be applied The sample is large enough however that reasonable stress levels are reached at the depth o the HCPT opening without an overburden The result o this combination o boundaries is that the DUT chamber alls somewhere between BC2 & 3 as given by Parkin (1988) as: 2

6 PP Rahardjo & T Lunne (eds) In Situ Measurements and Case Histories, Bandung, Indonesia, 21, pp R H (%) 1 The cone resistance and sleeve riction measured in a horizontal cone penetration test dier rom those obtained with vertical tests The act that or medium dense sands the average value o q c measured in HCPT is 12 times the value measured in vertical CPT had been recognised already, but this observation had been made or a ine uniormely distributed sand only To investigate the inluence o the grain size distribution on HCPT measurements new tests have been perormed in three dierently graded ine to coarse sands Within each sand type only a limited number o tests has been perormed These tests show no inluence o the sand type on the ratio o horizontal over vertical cone resistance They do show however a strong inluence on the ratio o horizontal over vertical sleeve riction, as the ratio s H/V decreases signiicantly with increasing coarseness o the sand The same is true or the ratio o horizontal over vertical riction ratior H/V This decrease is caused by changes in the horizontal as well as the vertical riction ratio, and these changes are non-linear with the change in characteristic grain size or distribution No satisactory explanation o this dependancy on the sand type has been ound Given the limited amount o sand types tested the question whether such behaviour also occurs or dierent sand types, or or dierent soil types in general, remains unanswered The research shows however that in detailed soil analyses based on horizontal cone penetration the correlation charts developed or vertical CPT should be used with care Figure 11 Horizontal vs vertical riction ratio R V (%) And although the inluence o the coarseness and gradation o the material on the sleeve riction is well known, the observed inluence on the horizontal sleeve riction and especially on the horizontal riction ratio remains surprising Ater all, the sands 2 and 3 exhibit a clearly dierent riction ratio, whereas they have the same horizontal riction ratio I this phenomena also occurs or other soil types, the characterisation o soils based on their horizontal riction ratio becomes more diicult and any calibration charts or vertical CPT should be used with extreme care in the detailed interpretation o HCPT 7 CONCLUSIONS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors wish to thank Mr KSMK Kosgoda or his help in perorming the tests REFERENCES Broere, W & AF van Tol 1998 Horizontal cone penetration testing In Robertson, PK & PW Mayne (eds), Geotehnical Site Characterization, Proc ISC 98, pp Balkema Deen, JK van, G Greeuw, R van den Hondel, MTh van Staveren, FJM Hoesloot & B Vanhout 1999 Horizonal CPTs or reconnaissance beore the TBM ront In Barends, FBJ, J Lindenberg, HJ Luger, L de Quelerij & A Verruijt (eds), XII ECSMGE Geotechnical Engineering or Transportation Inrastructure, pp Rotterdam, Balkema Houlsby, GT & R Hitchman 1988 Calibration chamber tests o a cone penetrometer in sand Géotechnique, 38(1):39 44 Jamiolkowski, M, VN Ghionna, R Lancelotta & E Pasqualini 1988 New correlations o penetration tests or design practice In Ruiter, J de (ed), Penetration Testing 1988, pp Lunne, T, PK Robertson & JJM Powell 1997 Cone Penetration Testing in Geotechnical Practice London, Blackie Parkin, AK 1988 The calibration o cone penetrometers In Ruiter, J de (ed), Penetration Testing 1988, pp Ruiter, J de (ed) 1988 Penetration Testing 1988, Rotterdam Balkema Salgado, R, JK Mitchell & M Jamiolkowski 1998 Calibration chamber size eects on penetration resistance in sand ASCE Journal o Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 124:
