Use of in situ Tests for Determination of Soil Support Capacity

Use of in situ Tests for Determination of Soil Support Capacity

The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is used worldwide for information on the resistance to dynamic penetration of the soil (N). Correlations, allow calculating, using this index, soil parameters such as the relative compactness, friction angle, elastic modulus and the load capacity of the foundati...
