The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) is an instrument which can be used for the rapid measurement of the in-situ strength of existing flexible pavements constructed with unbound materials. Measurements can be made down to a depth of 800 mm, or to a maximum depth of 1500mm, by adding an extension rod. Where the pavement layers have different strengths, the boundaries between them can be identified and the thickness of each layer determined.
