Study on the Unload Interval Time of Thin Plate Penetration Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

The thin plate penetration test method was presented by Professor T.S. TAN for the determination of undrained strength in high water content sludge. Based on the method, a thin plate penetration test device is designed. Through the thin plate penetration indoor test of dredged sludge, the unload weight and interval time of this test method are studied. The results shows that: if the water content range of soil sample can be segmented, and determine the appropriate interval time for unloading in each segment of the water content range, the efficiency and accuracy of thin plate penetration test method can be improved.
