Foreword | iso22476-2-2005
This document (EN ISO 22476-2:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 341 "Geotechnical investigation and testing", the secretariat of which is held by DIN, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 182 "Geotechnics".
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2005.
EN ISO 22476 Geotechnical investigation and testing — Field testing has the following parts:
Part 2: Dynamic probing
Part 4: Ménard pressuremeter test
Part 10: Weight sounding test
Part 12: Mechanical cone penetration test
Part 13: Plate loading test
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard : Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
This document specifies requirements for indirect investigations of soil by dynamic probing as part of geotechnical investigation and testing according to EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.
This document covers the determination of the resistance of soils and soft rocks in situ to the dynamic penetration of a cone. A hammer of a given mass and given height of fall is used to drive the cone. The penetration resistance is defined as the number of blows required to drive the cone over a defined distance. A continuous record is provided with respect to depth but no samples are recovered.
Four procedures are included, covering a wide range of specific work per blow:
dynamic probing light (DPL): test representing the lower end of the mass range of dynamic equipment;
dynamic probing medium (DPM): test representing the medium mass range of dynamic equipment;
dynamic probing heavy (DPH): test representing the medium to very heavy mass range of dynamic equipment;
dynamic probing super heavy (DPSH): test representing the upper end of the mass range of dynamic equipment.
The test results of this document are specially suited for the qualitative determination of a soil profile together with direct investigations (e.g. sampling according to prEN ISO 22475-1) or as a relative comparison of other in situ tests. They may also be used for the determination of the strength and deformation properties of soils, generally of the cohesionless type but also possibly in fine-grained soils, through appropriate correlations. The results can also be used to determine the depth to very dense ground layers e.g. to determine the length of end bearing piles, and to detect very loose, voided, back-filled or infilled ground.

cone and drive rods
dynamic probing equipment
penetrometer and all equipment necessary to drive the penetrometer
anvil or drive head
portion of the drive-weight assembly that the hammer strikes and through which the hammer energy passes into the drive rods
cushion; damper
placed upon the anvil to minimise damage to the equipment
3.5 hammer
portion of the drive-weight assembly which is successively lifted and dropped to provide the energy that accomplishes the penetration of the cone
free fall of the hammer after being released
drive-weight assembly
device consisting of the hammer, the hammer fall guide, the anvil and the drop system
rods that connect the drive-weight assembly to the cone
pointed probe of standard dimensions used to measure the resistance to penetration (see Figure 1)
actual energy; driving energy
energy delivered by the drive-weight assembly into the drive rod immediately below the anvil, as measured
energy as calculated for the drive weight assembly,
Etheor = m× g × h
h is the falling height of the hammer.
3.12 energy ratio
ratio of the actual energy Emeas and the theoretical energy Etheor of the hammer expressed in percentage
Nxy-value
number of blows required to drive the penetrometer over a defined distance x (expressed in centimetres) by the penetrometer y
specific work per blow
value calculated by
En = m× g × h/A = Etheor/A
A is the nominal base area (calculated using the base diameter D);
Etheor is the theoretical energy.
Solid rock drilling attachments
For rocky soils bores and screws are replaced with operating devices of hammer drilling (clamshells, chisels).
