Future generation of dynamic penetrometers

Sol Solution has been working for a long time on a new generation of dynamic penetrometers. These penetrometers will provide, through wave analysis, the peak load-deep curve (dynamic and pseudo-static), dynamic modulus of elasticity, compression wave velocity and ground damping. These data, accessible during on-site tests, have a high resolution allowing to improve the knowledge of the soil at the time of the design study.

This work is the result of 2 theses and 1 post-doc with the University of Auvergne and ongoing work with our partners, Fondasol, the Navier laboratory of the Ecole des Ponts PariTech and Ifsttar.
