The Fourth James K. Mitchell Lecture: The CPT in offshore soil investigations - a historic perspective
For the last 40 years, the CPT has played a key role in offshore soil investigations, mainly in connection with oil and gas development, but also for other purposes. The offshore application of CPT has been an important factor with regards to development of equipment, data processing and interpretation. Each of the following aspects are discussed in terms of historic development, present status and future challenges:
- Deployment method and equipment.
- Penetrometer design and construction.
- Data acquisition, processing and quality control.
- Standards and guidelines.
- Interpretation of results and application in foundation design.
It is shown that these developments have greatly enhanced the reliability and applicability of the use of the CPT in soil investigations and design. However, there are still important challenges to be faced in the future
