CPT Test Explained: How Engineers Map Soil Without Digging It All Up

You don't always need a borehole to understand the ground. The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) pushes an instrumented cone into the soil and records a continuous profile of strength and layering as it goes. In this video, I explain how the test works, what the readings mean, and how engineers use the results for foundation design.    / @bekoconsults   In this video: • What the CPT test is and why it matters • How the cone is pushed and what it measures • Reading cone resistance, sleeve friction, and friction ratio • Identifying sand, clay, and soft layers from the data • CPT vs SPT: when to use each one • How CPT results guide foundation design Like, subscribe, and comment your geotechnical questions below. #CPTTest #ConePenetrationTest #GeotechnicalEngineering #CivilEngineering #StructuralEngineering
