Estimating Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Displacements Using the Standard Penetration Test or Cone Penetration Test

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2004
A semiempirical approach to estimate liquefaction-induced lateral displacements using standard penetration test (SPT) or cone penetration test (CPT) data is presented. The approach combines available SPT- and CPT-based methods to evaluate liquefaction potential with laboratory test results for clean sands to estimate the potential maximum cyclic shear ...

Standard Penetration Test

2015
This chapter provides a detailed description of the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) procedure and corrections to be applied to the SPT N value and hammer energy. Correlations of SPT N value with relative density, peak drained friction angle and modulus of elasticity of sand are discussed in detail.

Energy Efficiency for Standard Penetration Tests

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2005
The need for standardization of the measured blow count number Nspt into a normalized reference energy value is now fully recognized. The present paper extends the existing theoretical approach using the wave propagation theory as framework and introduces an analysis for large displacements enabling the influence of rod length in the measured Nspt ...

Laboratory Standard Penetration Tests on Fine Sands

Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1977
The Standard Penetration Test (STP) is critically examined with respect to its ability to estimate relative density in situ. Twenty-six test specimens, 4-ft in diameter by 6-ft high, were constructed using Reid Bedford Model sand and Ottawa sand. Using field drilling equipment, the SPT was performed at three overburden pressures on test specimens built

Field Testing: The Standard Penetration Test

Geological Society, London, Engineering Geology Special Publications, 1986
AbstractThis introductory lecture discusses the international use of the standard penetration test (SPT) and presents the proposals for International Reference Test Procedures. The application of the SPT as a means of assessing the strength and stiffness of weak rocks is mentioned together with the reliance upon the test at the present time for ...
