APPLICATION OF STANDARD PENETRATION TEST IN THE SANDY SOIL

The Standard Penetration Test is the most commonly used means of in situ tests. In geotechnical engineering investigation, the determination of the density of sand, their bearing capacity, and the liquefaction of saturated sand are necessary using standard penetration test. In practice geological prospecting works, how to correctly apply the results of standard penetration test is especially important. The author, on the results of standard penetration test in sand collate, analyze the application to geotechnical engineering investigation services.
