VertekCPT: What is the effect of Overburden Stress on CPT testing ?

Overburden Stress, also called Vertical Stress or Overburden Pressure, is the pressure imposed on a layer of soil by the weight of the layers on top of it. Overburden stress can cause errors or drift...

VertekCPT: Want to clarify the relation between SPT & CPT?

To determine the mechanical properties of soil, an engineer can rely on both CPT and SPT methods. Learn more on correlating test results in Vertek's latest post! In the Standard Penetration Test (SP...

Vertek: Need help in selecting optimum cone penetrometer size?

CPT cones are available in multiple sizes, with the 10cm2 being the industry standard. Larger and smaller CPT cone sizes are also available tailored to the needs of any testing situation. Read on for...

Vertek's latest news on the use of CPTu test results!
