Since the prior national reports for Canada (Woeller & Robertson 1995) and USA (Mayne et al. 1995) were prepared for CPT’95, considerable growth and demand have been seen in the application of cone penetrometer technology (CPT) across North America. Compared with the more traditional rotary drilling & sampling methods used in site exploration, the CPT offers several clear advantages: (1) faster, continuous, and reliable profiling of subsurface geostratigraphy; (2) immediate access to digital data; (3) multiple types of measurements from the same sounding; and (4) economy, particularly in total linear meters (footage). Direct CPT methods for shallow and deep foundation design have also found great interest.
