A new test, called the seismic cone penetration test (SCPT) is described. A small rugged velocity seismometer has been incorporated into an electronic cone penetrometer. The combination of the seismic downhole method and the CPT logging provide an extremely rapid, reliable, and economic means of determining stratigraphic strength and modulus information in one sounding. Results using the seismic cone penetration test are presented and compared to conventional in situ techniques.
