Penetration Tests Data for Concrete Setting Evolution with Force and Position Logs

A dataset supporting a study on quantifying the evolving resistance of cementitious material using a robot-mounted penetrometer. Sina Akhbari created this dataset, which includes raw trial data and derived summary tables. The deposit includes datasets for every trial and analysis-ready tables that summarise each group.

Use Cases

• Modeling force-depth relationships in cementitious materials based on penetration test data.
• Comparing material resistance across different insertion speeds and angles mentioned in the description.
• Statistical analysis of repeatability in robotic penetration tests based on grouped trial data.
• Cross-platform validation of penetrometer measurements using the included Instron reference data.

Strengths

• Force data spans a range from about 1 N to 150 N, covering low to high resistance states.
• Data acquisition was standardized with force logged at 50 Hz and robot position logged at 500 Hz.
• Includes derived tables with statistical summaries like mean force, standard deviation, and confidence limits.
• Experiments were conducted with controlled parameters including nominal speeds of 1, 5, and 10 mm/s and insertion angles of 0, 5, and 10 degrees.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
