Question: Problem 4 ( 2 0 % ) : A Standard Penetration Test ( SPT ) is conducted in the soil profile given below. A

Problem 4(20\%): A Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is conducted in the soil profile given below. A corrected blow count number of 35 is obtained at point \( B \). What would be the effective stress-based friction angle (\(\phi^{\prime}\)) at point B? If needed, use linear interpolation when inferring the \(\phi^{\prime}\) from the figure below.
Problem 5(20\%): In the Standard Penetration Test (SPT), how the blow counts are measured? Please describe it briefly.
Problem 6(20\%): What are the major differences between the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). List three of them.
