Recently, piezocone penetration test is frequently used in order to estimate the characteristics of soft ground with standard penetration test; generally used in the past In this study, standard penetration test, piezocone penetration test, driving resistance of vertical drain were used in order to increase the confidence for determination of soft ground depth. And the compressible layer was determined by the comparison between the preconsolidation pressure and the designed increase pressure. As the results, the relation between standard penetration test and piezocone penetration test shows $q_c$=(1.09~1.63)N at the soft ground, determined by 5/30 N value. And $q_c$(1.21~1.98)N was shown at the point of compressible layer, evaluated by the preconsolidation pressure. And driving resistance of vertical drain is 70 f/$cm^2$ which is equal to 10kgf/$cm^2$ cone penetration resistance.

Recently, piezocone penetration test is frequently used in order to estimate the characteristics of soft ground with standard penetration test, generally used in the past. In this study, the correlation of standard penetration test, piezocone penetration test and driving resistance of vertical drain is analyzed in order to increase the confidence for determination of soft ground depth. As the results of each zone, the relation between standard penetration test and piezocone penetration test shows qc=(1.09~1.63)N at the soft ground, determined by 5/30 N value which is decided for soft ground criteria. And qc=(1.21~1.98)N was shown at the point of compressible layer, evaluated by the preconsolidation pressure. And driving resistance of vertical drain is $65{\sim}70kgf/cm^2$ which is equal to $10kgf/cm^2$ of cone penetration resistance.

In the analysis of the static cone penetration resistance or the point resistance of end bearing piles, the vertical effective stress has been chosen as the reference stress. However many reported experimental results indicate that the cone tip resistance is dependent rather on the in -situ horzontal stress than the vertical effective stress. To clarify this point, published experimental results have been re-evaluated and the laboratory penetration tests have been performed. From the results it is concluded that the cone tip resistance is influenced by both the vertical effective stress and the horizontal effective stress. It is further concluded that the mean normal stress should be used as the reference stress in the analysis.

Electrical resistivity is applied for understanding details about layers and obtaining basic properties of soils to various measurement devices. The objective of this study is development of TRP(Temperature-compensated Resistivity Probe), analysis about effects of temperature changes during cone penetration test, and observation of characteristics of cone penetration. In order to observation of temperature changes according to a diameter difference of resistivity cone probe, the cone which has wedge type cone tip is made to two types, 2mm and 5mm. Temperature sensor is attached at 15mm below from cone tip because of an electrical interference with elecrical resistance probe. Delectrical connector is used to prevent electric disturbance between motor type penetrating machine and electrical resistivity cone probe. Application tests are carried out in acrylic cell whose diameter is 30cm with uniform Jumunjin sand according to densification caused by blows. The test results indicate that the temperature is increased uniformly during penetration and a tendency, characteristics of cone penetration, is discovered during altering state of soils. This study suggests that the temperature effects and characteristics of penetration should be considered in penetrating tests in order to conduct an accurate ground investigation using TRP(Temperature-compensated Resistivity Probe).

Cone penetration was analyzed by arbitrary Lagangian-Eulerian(ALE) method. In order to simulate full penetration, steady state analyses were performed using ABAQUS/Explicit, which models upward flow of soil layers. In the analysis of homogeneous layer it was found that the paths and the strain of soil particles were consistent with the result of the strain path method and that the ultimate resistance were reasonably evaluated. The cone penetration through different soil layers was also analyzed and that showed the transfer of cone resistance. The steady state ALE analysis could perform full penetration through the layered soils.

The practical use of the electrical resistivity, which can makes the acquirement of the high resolution data in specific area, is increased in order to obtain a reasonable data for a ground investigation. The objective of this study is development of TRPF(Temperature-compensated Resistivity Probe for Field test), and an application in the field test for obtaining a reliable electrical resistivity value about considering the temperature effects. Temperature sensor is attached at 15mm, 30mm, 90mm below from the cone tip in consideration with the results of temperature transient process of cone probe and safety, and the angle of cone tip is $60^{\circ}$ for geometrical reason and minimizing the disturbance during the penetration test. Diameter of the cone probe is equally 35.7mm and penetration rate is 2 cm/sec for a comparison with standard cones such as CPT and SPT, and others. The temperature change is instantly observed around $4^{\circ}C$ when touching the ground, and the comparing results among the other cones indicates that the temperature compensation should be conducted in the ground survey using the electrical resistivity. This study shows that the necessity of temperature effects compensation during penetration test through the development and field verification of TRPF (Temperature-compensated Resistivity Probe for Field test).

Electrical resistivity survey is widely used to investigate the stability of center-core type fill dam against the seepage phenomenon. In this study, we analyze the resistivity information obtained on a earth fill dam and compare it with the geotechnical SPT result. The analysis shows that the zones showing low resistivity value generally have low N value. However, some zones with high resistivity pattern do not accompany the increase of N value, and even showing low N value. These results imply that the direct identification of resistivity value to the real status of the core material of fill dam is impossible, and a highly resistive zone may be in serious status due to the effect increasing the resistivity value by the piping condition. Therefore, multiple exploration should be planned to reduce the uncertainty in application of geophysical methods to dam safety evaluation.

Setting time of cement-based materials can represent a developing strength in early-age mixture, and it can be used a significant parameter of high-performance concrete having various mix-proportions. Generally, initial and final setting time of concrete is measured by penetration resistance method that used a wet-sieving mortar mixture, therefore, it hardly represents the setting time of sound concrete including coarse aggregate. Recently, several nondestructive methods, such as ultrasonic velocity and impendence measurement, are proposed to evaluate the setting time of fresh concrete. This study attempts to measure an electrical resistivity using four-electrode method for evaluation of setting time in early-age cement-based materials. For this purpose, total 10 mixtures are prepared as different mix-proportions including chemical admixture. Based on the experimental results, two electrical parameters, such as initial electrical resistivity and rising time, are proposed to reflect a microstructure development by hydration of cement-based materials. As a result, proposed parameter is also discussed with the measured setting time by penetration resistance method.

Economic damage is occurring due to landslides and debris flows that occur when the ground artificially created for roads or photovoltaic power generation facilities is weakened by rainfall such as torrential rain. In order to understand the stability of the artificially created ground, it is very important to check the ground information such as the compositional state and mechanical characteristics of the stratum. However, since most of the investigation sites are steep slopes or there are no access roads, it is not easy to enter the drilling equipment commonly used to check ground information and perform standard penetration tests. In this study, a dynamic cone penetration test (DCP) device using a miniaturized auger drilling equipment and an automatic drop device was developed to check the cone resistance value and the dynamic cone penetration test value and analyze the correlation with the standard penetration test value to confirm its applicability at the mountain solar power generation site. As a result, the cone resistance value is q_d = 0.46 N and the dynamic cone penetration test value is N_d = 1.58 N, confirming a value similar to the results of existing researchers to secure its reliability.
