Summary Drop‐cone measurements were made on undisturbed and remoulded samples of topand sub‐soil from two sites equilibrated at tensions between zero and 600 kPa (6 bar). All samples remained virtually saturated up to the highest tension. Within a few days after remoulding, cone penetration values had returned to those obtained on undisturbed samples.
