Abstract
ABSTRACT Cone penetration technology has increasingly been used for environmental characterization and monitoring purposes. Cone penetration testing has made a great progress in last 15 years and the interpretations of obtained results are based on established principles. Incorporation of geophysical techniques into CPT offers a new way to characterize subsurface conditions in coastal areas. In the present paper, the authors review some of the technologies to delineate the soil conditions. Two case histories are presented, one comparing the performance of conventional monitoring well with that of cone penetrometer enabled well and the second is the CPT based laser induced fluorescence to detail the concentration of polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) in harbour sediments.
