Geotechnical investigation and testing - Field testing - Part 1 : electrical cone and piezocone penetration tests
ISO 22476-1:2012 deals with equipment requirements, the execution of and reporting on electrical cone and piezocone penetration tests as part of geotechnical investigation and testing according to EN 1997‑1 and EN 1997‑2.Within the electrical cone and piezocone penetration test, two subcategories of the cone penetration test are considered:electrical cone penetration test (CPT), which includes measurement of cone resistance and sleeve friction;piezocone test (CPTU), which is a cone penetration test with the additional measurement of pore pressure.The CPTU is performed like a CPT with the measurement of the pore pressure at one or several locations on the penetrometer surface.ISO 22476-1:2012 specifies the following features:type of cone penetration test;application class;penetration length or penetration depth;elevation of the ground surface or the underwater ground surface at the location of the cone penetration test with reference to a datum;location of the cone penetration test relative to a reproducible fixed location reference point;pore pressure dissipation tests.
ISO 22476-1:2012 deals with equipment requirements, the execution of and reporting on electrical cone and piezocone penetration tests as part of geotechnical investigation and testing according to EN 1997‑1 and EN 1997‑2.
Within the electrical cone and piezocone penetration test, two subcategories of the cone penetration test are considered:
- electrical cone penetration test (CPT), which includes measurement of cone resistance and sleeve friction;
- piezocone test (CPTU), which is a cone penetration test with the additional measurement of pore pressure.
The CPTU is performed like a CPT with the measurement of the pore pressure at one or several locations on the penetrometer surface.
ISO 22476-1:2012 specifies the following features:
- type of cone penetration test;
- application class;
- penetration length or penetration depth;
- elevation of the ground surface or the underwater ground surface at the location of the cone penetration test with reference to a datum;
- location of the cone penetration test relative to a reproducible fixed location reference point;
- pore pressure dissipation tests.
This document establishes equipment, procedural and reporting requirements and recommendations on cone and piezocone penetration tests. NOTE This document fulfils the requirements for cone and piezocone penetration tests as part of geotechnical investigation and testing according to the EN 1997 series. This document specifies the following features: a) type of cone penetration test; b) cone penetrometer class according to Table 2; c) test categories according to Table 3; d) penetration length or penetration depth; e) elevation of the ground surface or the underwater ground surface at the location of the cone penetration test with reference to a datum; f) location of the cone penetration test relative to a reproducible fixed location reference point; g) pore pressure dissipation tests. This document covers onshore and nearshore cone penetration test (CPT). For requirements for offshore CPT, see ISO 19901-8.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
