Submersible-Mounted Geotechnical Probes
A detailed investigation of the vertical and areal variability of the geotechnical properties of seafloor soils in a portion of the San Diego Trough has required the development of two submersible-mounted geotechnical probes for the in-place measurement of shear strength and bulk density. The vane and penetrometer-densitometer probes, which are of modular construction to facilitate extension of their maximum depth capability, have been successfully and routinely operated from the submersible Deep Quest in 1230 meters of water in the San Diego Trough. Sediment penetrations of 3.2 meters for the vane shear probe and 1.2 meters for the penetrometer-densitometer probe have been achieved. (Modified author abstract)
