Abstract: | A new method has been developed for the determination of cone resistance under drained conditions. Numerical methods are used for the solution of the differential equations of plasticity theory for soils and for the determination of the stress states in the soil produced by the penetration of the cone. It is assumed that the stresses produced by the penetration of the cone remain ‘locked in’ the soil and constitute boundary conditions for further penetration. The computation starts with the cone base at the surface and is continued by successively incrementing the depth by a small amount. Charts are given for the computation of cone resistance in sands for various friction angles. The importance of the effect of the shear stresses generated at the surface of the cone and characterized by the interface friction angle, δ, is discussed in detail. |
