DD CEN ISO/TS 17892-6:2004 Geotechnical investigation and testing. Laboratory testing of soils. Fall cone test DD CEN ISO/TS 17892-6 specifies the laboratory determination of undrained shear strength of both undisturbed and remoulded specimen of saturated fine grained cohesive soils by use of a fall-cone. DD CEN ISO/TS 17892-6 specifies the fall-cone test, in which a cone is allowed to fall with its tip towards a soil specimen, whereupon the penetration of the cone into the soil is measured. Tests performed according to this test yield penetration values which can be used to estimate the undrained shear strength. The test is applicable to both undisturbed and remoulded soil test specimen.
