DEVELOPMENT OF A DYNAMIC PENETROMETER PREDICTION MODEL CONSIDERING THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE GROUND

The article presents a model, obtained from the heavy dynamic penetrometer test and physical parameters. It has been established that there are correlations between resistance to dynamic penetrometer, natural water content and void index. On the basis of the established correlations, a model for the determination of resistance to dynamic penetrometer in relation to these simple and less costly physical parameters has been developed. Following the verification of its validity, the developed model is proposed for the sizing of the foundations of the civil engineering works of the city of Amtiman and its surroundings. This model contributes to the reduction of geotechnical testing costs.
