This course is for CPT operators, those who train CPToperators,
field supervisors and suppliers of CPTequipment. The course will
focus on consistentlyachieving excellence in data acquisition,
safely, withno loss or damage of equipment and meeting
therequirements of (international) standards.
Supplementary topics will include technicaladvances,
nearshore/marine applications and CPTadd‐ons – such as the seismic
cone penetration test,cone pressuremeter test and environmental
conepenetration systems. Date: 20 June 2018, the day before CPT’18
Venue: Delft University of Technology Organisers: Fugro and TU

Course for CPT Operators
The symposium will be held in Delft, in theNetherlands. Delft is
a renowned historical, culturaland touristic town, closely related
to the RoyalFamily, as well as a centre of excellence for
scienceand technology. But still with the charm of a smallwalkable
town. Please visit www.delft.nl
The symposium venue will be the Aula ConferenceCentre, located
on the campus of Delft University ofTechnology (TU Delft).More

Welcome to CPT’18
Technical Committee TC102 of the InternationalSociety for Soil
Mechanics and GeotechnicalEngineering (ISSMGE) and Delft University
ofTechnology are pleased to announce the
4th International Symposium
on Cone Penetration Testing, CPT’18.
CPT’18 will be held on 21‐22 June 2018 in Delft, theNetherlands,
following the successful symposia inLinköping, Sweden (1995),
Huntington Beach,California (2010) and Las Vegas, Nevada
(2014).

CPT’18 will focus on the solution of geotechnicalchallenges
using the cone penetration test (CPT), CPTadd‐on measurements and
companion in‐situpenetration tools (such as full flow and free
fallpenetrometers), with particular emphasis on practicalexperience
and application of research findings. AsCPTs play a major role in
geo‐engineering, CPT’18 willbring together the world’s experts who
are working toimprove the quality and reduce the
difficultiesinvolved. The symposium will be attended byacademics,
researchers, consultants, practitioners,hardware/software
suppliers, certifiers and students.It will be a unique opportunity
for meeting people andsharing high‐level knowledge.
Organizing Committee
The CPT’18 organisers encourage to submit contributionson
research, achievements and innovations related to:
Equipment, Testing and Procedures
Aspects regarding equipment, testing and procedures –including
both well‐established and novel equipment
Interpretation of Test Results
Aspects of interpretation, from theoretical to
empirical,including case histories and numerical simulation
Solution of Practical Problems
Application of test results, including
onshore/offshoregeohazards, foundations, embankments, slopes,
tailingsdams, geo‐environmental and seismic design
