The eKODIAK® Multi-Mass Automated Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) measures a material’s in-situ resistance to penetration through the depth profile of the material. This video shows how it's used.
The eKODIAK® Multi-Mass Automated DCP benefits from 5kg, 8kg and 10kg drop weights. Varying the hammering energy enables both stiff and soft material to be assessed producing more data points, even within the same test.
To minimise rod friction, cones larger than the diameter of the rods are used, enabling meaningful data to be collected below the 1-2m limitation of the conventional DCP.
To facilitate data acquisition, the SolSolution DCP mobile application (iPhone/iPad and Android) is used to GPS locate tests, record data and visualize in real time the penetrograms.
With the eKODIAK, the depth of penetration of each blow is measured automatically and populates the SolSolution DCP app, increasing the resolution of the results. The cone resistance Qd (soil resistance under the cone) is calculated in relation to the penetration depth per blow.
