With the ever increasing demand for the utilization of ground with undesirable soil properties, e.g., underground space and reclaimed land, it is challanging for the geotechnical engineers to obtain as accurate information, of the subsurface soil, as possible. Keeping this aim in mind authors have examined various methods employed to measure various soil properties. The present paper describes the efforts to combine two different technologies, namely, cone penetration technology and the use of neutrons in moisture measurements, into one. To this end various neutron sources and nuclear detection system have been examined. A comprehensive design concept is also described. Authors have shown that the designed neutron moisture cone penetrometer is a versatile instrument and well capable of measuring various soil properties.
