Cone penetration in soil is a complex process. The complexity arises partly from the boundary-value problem itself, in which a penetrometer with a conical tip is pushed down at constant rate through a (likely heterogeneous) soil mass of infinite extent in the horizontal direction but with a free horizontal surface, partly from the nature of the soil, a particulate material with strongly non- linear mechanical response. Because of the value of using cone penetration as a means of characterizing a soil site, the problem of linking the cone penetration re- sistance to fundamental properties of the soil has received considerable attention in research. This paper examines contributions towards understanding of this problem from experimental mechanics. Experimental research has included most- ly field tests and tests in test chambers and geotechnical centrifuges. Experimental work using half chambers and centrifuges with half cones penetrating a soil sam- ple next to a Plexiglass wall with simultaneous collection of images during pene- tration has allowed use of digital image correlation (DIC) methods to understand the displacement field around a penetrating cone. Collectively, these techniques have generated a body of knowledge that generally allows effective interpretation of cone penetration tests both in sandy and clayey soils.
