Abstract
The present study incorporates the scale down model of Jonardo dynamic penetrometer to determine the uniformity of the soil profile and also results in finding out the resistance offered by the soil mass. Four different sand samples of uniform gradation have been collected from various parts of India. The sand samples have been reconstituted using the conventional rainfall pouring technique through air pluviation. The samples have been prepared at different heights of fall and their uniformity has been quantified using the dynamic penetrometer. The soil resistance has been measured at various locations across the soil sample and the results are presented.
