EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 17892-6 testing. This document specifies the method for undrained strength index testing of both undisturbed and remolded fine-grained soil samples by the cone of fall method.
In the falling cone test, the tip of a cone is dropped towards the ground sample and the resulting penetration of the cone into the ground is measured. Penetration values are used to estimate undrained shear strength.
Because the test is done on a small laboratory sample, the result may not agree with lab tests on larger samples. In addition, the test sample may not be fully representative of the soil in its natural state; for example, the test sample may not have in situ cracks in a range larger than the sample size. Therefore, for the above reasons, the test can be considered an estimate of the undrained shear strength rather than an actual measurement of shear strength.
This test is important for understanding the behavior of soils in engineering projects such as water management and groundwater flow, storage areas and foundations.
EUROLAB assists manufacturers with ISO 17892-6 test compliance. Our test experts, with professional working mission and principles, offer you the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories to our manufacturers and suppliers.
