Question: Q 4 . At 1 0 m depth, a silty sand layer was encountered and the Standard Penetration Test ( SPT ) was performed. Blows

Q4. At 10m depth, a silty sand layer was encountered and the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed. Blows for the first, second, and third 15cm ground penetration were reported as 4,6, and 11, respectively. The energy rate of the ram is 50%. The borehore diameter is 200mm and the SPT sampler without liner is used. The rod length from the bottom of the ram to a depth of 10m is 12m. Calculate N1,60 value. (GWT is 4m below ground surface and unit weight above and below GWT is 19kNm3 and 20kNm3 respectively)
