CPTkokeessa

CPTkokeessa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the CPT test" or "during the CPT test." CPT stands for Cone Penetration Test, a geotechnical investigation method used to assess the soil conditions beneath the ground surface. The test involves pushing a cone-shaped penetrometer into the soil at a constant rate.

During a CPT test, various measurements are continuously recorded as the cone advances. These typically include tip resistance (the resistance the cone encounters as it pushes through the soil), sleeve friction (the frictional resistance along the side of the cone sleeve), and pore water pressure (the pressure of the water in the soil pores). These data points provide valuable information about the soil's stratigraphy, density, strength, and compressibility.

The phrase "CPTkokeessa" would be used in contexts discussing the process, results, or interpretation of a Cone Penetration Test. For instance, a geotechnical engineer might state that "CPTkokeessa havaitut arvojen perusteella maaperä luokiteltiin savikkaiseksi" which means "Based on the values observed in the CPT test, the soil was classified as silty clay." It is a functional term within the field of geotechnical engineering in Finland.
