Abstract
This paper describes the ISMGEO Large Calibration Chamber and its application for the validation of in-situ testing probes such as Cone Penetration, Nuclear Cone Penetration, geophones for seismic wave propagation. The calibration chamber is active since the 1980s, during this period thousands of tests have been carried out demonstrating the effectiveness of such experimental facility.
