Methods of testing soils for engineering purposes, Method 6.3.2: Soil strength and consolidation tests — Determination of the penetration resistance of a soil — 9 kg dynamic cone penetrometer test

This Standard sets out the procedure for determining the resistance of a soil to penetration by a flat ended rod of 16 ±0.2 mm diameter driven with a 9 kg mass, dropping 600 mm. Use of the method is limited to granular soils with a maximum particle size not exceeding 2 mm, and a layer thickness of at least of 450 mm.

The NCC Primary References Set contains the editions of the Standards as referenced in the NCC. In some instances, these are not the same as the current edition of the Standard subsequently published or updated by Standards Australia. New editions of Standards which are primary references in the NCC will only be included when the NCC is updated. From time to time, Standards may be subject to Amendments, in which case, the former content (including text, figures and equations) will be noted and the former content will be accessible within the various access types on the Standards Store. We recommend that users make their own enquiries as to which editions of Standards are referenced in the NCC or other relevant regulatory instruments at a specific point in time.
