Resumo: Get soil resistance is critical to making any geotechnical design with confidence, thus, laboratory tests are used to determine the strength and deformability of the ground in discrete points involved in the volume of soil mass. Due to heterogeneity of soil formation is that field trials are needed to supplement this determination and enrich the bank information. Field trials were able to identify and estimate the mechanical parameters of the soil, an adequate prediction of the behavior of retaining structures, excavation, foundation, floor sizing, etc., and determine the characteristics of the soil profile, and have was used to estimate the mass of strength parameters involved ground. In this sense a new tool for the characterization of the soil profile from dynamic penetration of a metal cone with variable energy (PANDA) has been studied to find a relationship with the strength parameters of a tropical soil obtained in a vertical slope of about 4, 0 m high, located in Alexânia - GO with sandy visual tactile characteristics. Therefore, we performed PANDA tests up to 4.0 meters and determining the moisture profile through a survey to auger up to 3.70 meters and laboratory characterization tests were performed, determining the strength parameters in natural moisture condition and flooded , deformation parameters and determination of soil water characteristic curve (CCSA). PANDA the results were compared with the laboratory tests for this ground and found a range of variation between them always considering the trials of natural moisture condition. With the results it was possible to see the influence of suction in the PANDA test. In terms of resistance parameters was possible to find a friction angle of the relationship with the penetration of energy (qd) for this soil. Overall the strength parameters showed the same trend as the qd values obtained by PANDA compared with respect to depth. Finally, with the results it is recommended to carry out further testing on different soil types in different humidity conditions to improve relations found and increase the database.
