Correlating Standard Penetration Test and Dynamic Probe Super Heavy penetration resistance values in sandy soils

Correlating Standard Penetration Test and Dynamic Probe Super Heavy penetration resistance values in sandy soils

This paper presents a statistical method used to develop an empirical equivalence between the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and the Dynamic Probe Super Heavy (DPSH) in sandy material. Penetration resistance values from the two tests are often taken as equivalent for design purposes, as the same dr...
