Question: 1 - . A standard penetration test is performed in a 1 5 0 - mm - diameter borehole. The borehole is 1 1 .

1-. A standard penetration test is performed in a 150-mm-diameter borehole. The borehole is 11.0m below the ground surface. An automatic hammer with an efficiency of 92% and a standard SPT sampler is used to perform the SPT. The actual blow count (N) is found to be 21. The soil is overly consolidated silty sand with an OCR of 1.5. The unit weights of the soil above and below the groundwater table are 17.8 and 18.5kNm3, respectively with D50 of 0.35mm. The groundwater is found at a depth of 5m below the ground surface. Determine N60,(N1)60, Dr, and O?' of this soil.
