ASTM D6951-03

Historical Standard: Standard Test Method for Use of the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer in Shallow Pavement Applications

ASTM D6951

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the penetration rate of the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer with an 8-kg hammer (8-kg DCP) through undisturbed soil and/or compacted materials. The penetration rate may be related to in situ strength such as an estimated in situ CBR (California Bearing Ratio). A soil density may be estimated (Note 1) if the soil type and moisture content are known. The DCP described in this test method is typically used for pavement applications.

1.2 The test method provides for an optional 4.6-kg sliding hammer when the use of the 8-kg sliding mass produces excessive penetration in soft ground conditions.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
