Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is an in-situ test, used to determine the relative density and angle of shearing resistance of cohesionless soils. This test is also used to determine Unconfined Compressive Strength (qu) of cohesive soils. The test employs a split-spoon sampler which consists of a driving shoe, a split-barrel of circular cross-section which is…
