MnDOT has 3 CPT rigs for highway investigations

Over the period 2005-2009, the TC 16 proposes to a five-fold mission with the following objectives:
1. To promote the utilization and improve the interpretation of in-situ tests to enhance geotechnical site characterization, including the the determination of soil and rock properties, use of borehole techniques, penetration tests, and geophysical methods, and their variance.
2. Maintain an international website and email network, as well as hold several meetings, for interactive communication among the TC 16 members and geotechnical affiliates to share ideas, information, and technical solutions. Current website is: www.geoforum.com/tc16
3. Host the 3rd international conference on site characterization (ISC-3) to exchange theoretical, practical, and applied research in the area of in-situ testing and geotechnical site investigation.
4. Maintain a set of international guidelines and standards for in-situ testing methods for reference on procedures and interpretation.
5. Upgrade the social importance & relevance of our geotechnical discipline within eyes of the public, private, commercial, industrial, and military communities.
TC 16 members plan to continue their interactivities with sister Technical Committees TC 1 (offshore investigtations) and TC 29 (Laboratory stress-strain-testing behavior).
