  2. Ufer ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ufer_Ground

    After the war, Ufer continued to test his grounding method, and his results were published in a paper presented at the IEEE Western Appliance Technical Conference in 1963. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The use of concrete enclosed grounding conductors was added to the U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC) in 1968.

  3. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

    The test method consists of pushing an instrumented cone, with the tip facing down, into the ground at a controlled rate (controlled between 1.5 -2.5 cm/s accepted). The resolution of the CPT in delineating stratigraphic layers is related to the size of the cone tip, with typical cone tips having a cross-sectional area of either 10 or 15 cm 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

    The standard penetration test (SPT) is an in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. This test is the most frequently used subsurface exploration drilling test performed worldwide. The test procedure is described in ISO 22476-3, ASTM D1586 [1] and Australian Standards AS ...

    The auger is screwed into the ground then lifted out. Soil is retained on the blades of the auger and kept for testing. The soil sampled this way is considered disturbed. Split-spoon / SPT Sampler. Utilized in the 'Standard Test Method for Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils' (ASTM D 1586 [4]). This sampler is ...
