Dissipation testing | How and why
Dissipation testing is an in-situ testing method that measures the change in pore water pressure over time. Dissipation testing is used to assess the drainage and consolidation characteristics of soil, which are important factors in many geotechnical fields.Dissipation testing is typically performed using a piezocone penetrometer (CPTu). The CPTu is a device that measures the c ...
