Abstract

Dynamic penetrometer is a worldwide practice in geotechnical exploration and the French Panda (1) lightweight variable energy is the most developed device nowadays. Widely used in France and other countries, The Panda penetrometer is relatively unknown for characterizing surface soils domain and the possibilities it offers. In this article, the authors offer a brief review of the principle of measurement, its uses, advantages and disadvantages calibration, and interpretation, as well as the different relationships with other in-situ test (CPT, SPT…) and some geotechnical parameters. A summary of the works that can be found and that are based on this technology is also presented. The overall aim is to provide the reader with a basic historical document for a better understanding of the operation and analysis of the results obtained with this device, enabling it to be integrated, as a complement, into in situ investigation campaigns.
