Dear Osman,
Do you know of Skempton's paper in Geotechnique? That addressed many of the
issues you mention.
Skempton A.W. (1986) Standard penetration test procedures and the effects in
sands of overburden pressure, relative density, particle size, ageing and
overconsolidation, Geotechnique 36, 3, pp 425-447.
Some information on SPT corrections is also listed at:

Subject: Corrections of SPT for soil types and conditions
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.
