Seismic cone penetration test tools and systems including the same

A test tool, comprising:

• an elongated housing including a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
• a sensing section comprising:
• a cone penetrometer test (CPT) tool protruding from the first end of the housing,
• a first seismic sensor housed in the housing and configured to sense seismic waves,
• one or more circuits housed in the housing and configured to process output of the first seismic sensor, and
• memory housed in the housing and coupled to the one or more circuits, wherein the memory is configured to store data sensed by the sensing section;
• and
• a power source housed in the housing and configured to provide power for the sensing section.

A test tool, comprising:

• an elongated housing including a first section, a second section, a third section, and a fourth section, wherein the first section and the second section are detachably connected, the second section and the third section are detachably connected, and the third section and the fourth section are detachably connected;
• and
• a sensing section including:
• a cone penetrometer test (CPT) tool protruding from the fourth section;
• first and second seismic sensors housed in the fourth section and configured to sense seismic waves, wherein the first and second seismic sensors are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the fourth section;
• one or more circuits housed in the third section and configured to process output of the first seismic sensor;
• memory housed in the third section, coupled to the one or more circuits, and configured to store data sensed by the sensing section;
• and
• a communications interface housed in the first section, coupled to the one or more circuits, and configured to wirelessly communicate with a corresponding communications interface on a drill that deploys the test tool;
• and
• a power source housed in the second section and configured to provide power for the sensing section.
