This report discusses the current applications of the dynamic and static cone penetrometers in pavement design and construction. The dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) is the most versatile rapid, in situ evaluation device currently available. Correlations to CBR, unconfined compressive strength, resilient modulus, and shear strengths, and its use in performance evaluation of pavement layers make it an attractive alternative to more expensive and time consuming procedures. Many useful correlations between the DCP penetration index and other material properties continue to be reported. Other possible applications of DCP such as its use in the quality control of compaction of fill are discussed. In addition, advantages and disadvantages of the penetrometer testing are reported. The static cone penetrometer has also several applications in such areas as the evaluation of resilient modulus of cohesive soils, estimation of CBR, and the determination of relative density of sands. An overview of current practices ae well as areas of possible future trends are reported.
