A stratum of cemented sand can cause numerous geotechnical design problems. Extensive research has been conducted to determine both the properties of cemented sand and their effects on the engineering response of soil. A cone penetration test module was developed at the University of Florida to detect the presence and strength of these materials. After design and construction were complete, the prototype module was field tested in sand without cementation and again at a site with possible cementation. Development, calibration, and field testing of the module are discussed, as are preliminary recommendations for its potential use.
