Geotechnical investigation and testing - Laboratory testing of soil - Part 6: Fall cone test (ISO 17892-6:2017)

ISO 17892-6:2017 specifies a method of undrained strength index testing of both undisturbed and remoulded specimens of fine grained soils by the fall cone method.
ISO 17892-6:2017 is applicable to the laboratory estimation of undrained shear strength of a soil test specimen within the scope of geotechnical investigations.
In the fall cone test, a cone is allowed to fall with its tip towards a soil specimen, and the resulting penetration of the cone into the soil is measured. The penetration values are used to estimate the undrained shear strength. The fall cone test produces a complex shear in the test specimen, and does not represent either a vertical triaxial compression or a horizontal shear test. However, this index test may be correlated to some estimate of undrained shear strength determined in the laboratory by other test methods.
As the test is performed on a small laboratory specimen, the result may not agree with laboratory tests on larger specimens. In addition, the test specimen may not be fully representative of the soil in its natural state in the field; for example, the test specimen may not have fissures present in situ at a larger spacing than the specimen size.
Therefore, for the above reasons, the test can be regarded as an estimation of undrained shear strength, rather than a true measurement of it.
The ratio of the remoulded shear strength to the undisturbed shear strength may be used to estimate the sensitivity of a soil specimen. Time-dependent measurement of the shear strength may be used to assess the thixotropic regain of strength of a remoulded soil specimen.
NOTE          This document fulfils the requirements of the strength index testing of soils for geotechnical investigation and testing in accordance with EN 1997?1 and EN 1997?2.

Reconnaissance et essais géotechniques - Essais de laboratoire sur les sols - Partie 6: Essai de pénétration de cône (ISO 17892-6:2017)

La présente Norme internationale spécifie une méthode d'estimation de la résistance au cisaillement non drainé d'éprouvettes de sols fins remaniés ou non remaniés à l'aide de l'essai de pénétration de cône.
La présente Norme internationale est applicable à l'estimation de laboratoire de la résistance au cisaillement non drainé d'une éprouvette d'essai de sol dans le domaine d'application de la reconnaissance géotechnique.
Lors de l'essai de pénétration de cône, un cône est lâché, extrémité vers le bas, sur une éprouvette de sol afin de mesurer sa profondeur de pénétration dans le sol. Les valeurs de profondeur de pénétration sont utilisées pour évaluer la résistance au cisaillement non drainé. L'essai de pénétration de cône produit un cisaillement complexe dans l'éprouvette d'essai et ne simule pas une compression verticale ni un essai de cisaillement horizontal.
Dans le cas d'éprouvettes d'essai de sol non remanié, les résultats dépendent de la qualité des éprouvettes. De plus, le degré de saturation de l'éprouvette d'essai peut ne pas être identique au sol sur site, ce qui donne un résultat différent.
L'essai étant réalisé sur une petite éprouvette de laboratoire, le résultat peut différer de celui des essais en laboratoire sur de plus grandes éprouvettes. En outre, l'éprouvette d'essai peut ne pas être totalement représentative du sol dans son état naturel sur le terrain. Elle peut par exemple ne pas posséder de fissures présentes sur site à un plus grand espacement qu'à l'échelle de l'éprouvette.
Pour les raisons susmentionnées, il convient de considérer l'essai comme une estimation et non comme une mesure exacte de la résistance au cisaillement non drainé.
Le rapport entre la résistance au cisaillement remanié et la résistance au cisaillement non remanié peut être utilisé pour estimer la sensibilité d'une éprouvette de sol. Variable en fonction du temps, la mesure de la résistance au cisaillement peut être utilisée pour évaluer la restructuration thixotropique de la résistance d'une éprouvette de sol remanié.
NOTE       Le présent document satisfait aux exigences de l'essai de référence de résistance sur les sols pour la reconnaissance et les essais géotechniques conformément à l'EN 1997‑1 et à l'EN 1997‑2.

Geotehnično preiskovanje in preskušanje - Laboratorijsko preskušanje zemljin - 6. del: Preskus s konusom (ISO 17892-6:2017)

Ta dokument opredeljuje laboratorijsko določanje nedrenirane strižne trdnosti neporušenih in pregnetenih vzorcev nasičenih drobnozrnatih kohezivnih zemljin s konusom.
Ta dokument določa preskus s konusom, pri katerem je dovoljeno, da stožec pade s konico proti vzorcu zemljine, pri čemer se izmeri penetracija stožca v zemljino. Preskusi, izvedeni v skladu s tem preskusom, ponujajo penetracijske vrednosti, ki jih je mogoče uporabiti za oceno nedrenirane strižne trdnosti. Preskus se uporablja za neporušene in pregnetene preskusne vzorce zemljin.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
