Abstract
Cemented sand samples were formed and tested using a laboratory-size quasi-static cone penetrometer. The influence of cement content, cement type, relative sand density, and sample cure time on cone penetration resistance were determined. The penetration test data were supplemented by a triaxial test program. The results have shown that the addition of up to one percent cementing agent to sand could have a pronounced effect on cone penetration resistance, and on shear strength parameters. The results also attest to the utility of the static cone as a viable device in assessing relatively small changes in degree of cementation and/or relative density of cemented sands.
