www.dot.state.mn.usPenetrometer (shown at right) consists of two 16-mm (5/8-inch) diameter shafts coupled near midpoint. The lower shaft contains an anvil and a pointed tip which is driven into the soil by dropping a sliding hammer contained on the upper shaft onto the anvil. The underlying soil strength is determined by measuring the penetration of the lower

Conventional Retaining Walls - Caltrans
dot.ca.gov• Estimate soil strengths based on index properties established through SPT, pocket penetrometer, torvane, and CPT (see Soil Correlations Module). For retaining walls founded on Intermediate Geo Materials (IGM) or rock, strengths may be sufficiently estimated by reviewing data developed for on similar rock nearby projects.
