    Ponco Sujarmiko
    The document summarizes common in situ commercial testing techniques for soils, grouping them into non-destructive or semi-destructive geophysical tests, invasive penetration tests, and combined invasive and non-destructive tests. It lists specific tests, their designations, the measurements they provide, and common applications, such as determining soil stiffness, shear strength, consolidation properties, and profiling soil types.
