Abstract
The cone penetration test (CPT) has proved to be a valuable tool in obtaining design parameters for foundations especially in silty and sandy soils, and even in clay. This paper is submitted to the international symposium CPT'95 in Linkjøping, Sweden. It shows a few cases where CPT interpretations are compared with laboratory test results, and design calculations based on CPTs are compared with field observations and other design methods.
