Dear Colleagues,
I am attempting to search an interpretation of Standard Penetration Test
(SPT) results. My investigation is focussed on the correction of the
SPT. As you know many factors affects the SPT. Therefore some
corrections should be made due to the equipment, test procedure and soil
type, pore water pressure. I would like to know what corrections should
be made for soil types and conditions. For instance, is it necessary to
make the overburden and blow count frequency correction for cohesive
soils. I would appreciate any suggestions concerning the SPT corrections
for soil type and conditions. Any published papers and suggestions would
be welcome.
