Cone Penetration Tests Offshore the Venezuelan Coast
In situ tests have recently attracted considerable increased interest among the geotechnical profession as a means of complementing laboratory tests in offshore soil exploration. This report describes in situ measurements in marine sediments offshore the Venezuelan coast obtained by means of the FUGRO electrical cone penetrometer capable of measuring the cone penetration resistance q sub c, and the relatively new conical piezometer probes which measure the pore pressures, u. Continuous measurements of q sub c and u are particularly attractive in offshore exploration because of their efficiency in identifying soil conditions for proposed structures and detecting small changes in stratification, and similarity with pile foundations, especially regarding the strain (or stress) path they cause in the soil.
