Abstract:
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 estimating the liquefaction potential of saturated fine grained non-cohesive soils. The various aspects of the execution of the SPT are discussed which can provide variable and unrepresentative values of resistance (N values).The principle of measuring energy losses and making adjustments to the N values is introduced as a basis for ensuring comparability of test results.Reference is made to the general descriptions of the SPT given in BS 5930:1981 and to the lack of clear guidance in this British Standard.

Abstract:
The standard penetration test (SPT) split-spoon sampler is too small for investigations in gravelly soils. For this reason, several researchers have developed scaled-up versions of the SPT, commonly referred to as "large penetration tests" (LPT), and attempted to correlate the measured blow counts to SPT blow counts. Several LPTs have been in use worldwide; each with different drill rods, sampler dimensions, and hammer energies; hence existing published LPT–SPT correlations differ for each system. This paper summarizes the LPT data in the literature and presents a fundamental method for predicting LPT–SPT correlations. The proposed method is based on wave equation analyses of SPT and LPT and considers variations in test equipment, penetration resistance, and energy. It is shown that the method provides a unified approach for assimilating the various published LPT–SPT correlations. Additional SPT and LPT data were collected at a sand research site to check the proposed method and to expand the LPT database. The observed and predicted correlation factors are shown to be in good agreement. The proposed correlation method will be useful as a logical framework for the comparison of LPT data collected throughout the world. Additional research will be required to extend this procedure to gravel sites.Key words: large penetration test, LPT, fundamental correlation method, wave equation analysis, grain size effects.

Abstract:
The standard penetration test (SPT) is a widely used in situ test method worldwide that can evaluate soil properties based on the blow counts (N-value). The N-value depends on soil properties, and the energy transferred to the drill pipe during hammering. Currently, European and American scholars generally believe that variation in the amount of hammer energy transmitted to the drill pipe due to different types of drop hammer systems is the primary factor that leads to variations in N-value. In China, there is a lack of research on the quantitative energy transfer efficiency of the drop hammer system based on test data from a penetration test instrument. In this study, an in-situ test in Jiangsu Province was performed at a test site using standard penetration test instruments that are commonly used in China. Corresponding time history curves and strain, acceleration, force, velocity, energy and penetration degree data were obtained through the stress wave test. The propagation law of the stress wave and energy in a drill pipe was analyzed, and the energy transfer efficiency of the domestic SPT system was measured. In the stress wave test, most of the measured hammer energy efficiency was between 74.5 and 84.5%, and the measured average energy was 0.3723 kJ; the average energy efficiency was 78.7%; the standard deviation (SD) of the energy efficiency was 3.82, and the coefficient of variation (CV) of energy transfer efficiency(ER) was 4.9%. The average energy efficiency of 78.7% can be considered to be the energy efficiency of the domestic SPT system. The calculated results reported in this article can be used to improve the quantitative level of domestic investigation. Based on the calculated Er, the results obtained from different SPT systems at home and abroad can be corrected.

Abstract:
Design of building structure always related to the foundation, field testing is often done to test the bearing capacity of the soil in the form of a cone penetration test (CPT) and a standard penetration test (SPT). From the two field tests that are often done, it is necessary to research the amount of bearing capacity obtained through CPT and SPT data. This study uses a bearing capacity analysis of the pile foundation using CPT and SPT data in Pesanggaran, Bali, Indonesia. The analysis was carried out by comparing the bearing capacity of pile foundations using pile foundations with dimensions of 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm and 30 cm at a level of 10 meters. The results of the bearing capacity percentage are then compared. From the analysis conducted, the bearing capacity of pile foundations using CPT data has a higher value than the carrying capacity of poles using SPT data with a bearing capacity difference of 10,4-16,3%.Perancangan suatu struktur erat kaitannya dengan fondasi, pengujian lapangan yang sering dilakukan untuk mengetahui daya dukung fondasi berupa cone penetration test (CPT) dan standard penetration test (SPT).

Abstract:
The Becker penetration test (BPT), through correlations with the standard penetration test (SPT), is widely used for foundation design and liquefaction assessment in gravelly soils. Most of the existing correlations, however, do not adequately account for the variable energy output of the diesel hammer used in the Becker system, and shaft friction on the Becker casing is ignored. An alternative and more rational approach to BPT–SPT correlations is presented, based on experimental and numerical studies conducted at the University of British Columbia. The research involves performing SPT, BPT, and other in situ tests at several sites in British Columbia and includes dynamic measurements of energy transfer in the SPT and BPT. Stress-wave measurements and wave-equation analyses are used to evaluate the effect of friction on the BPT blow count. New BPT–SPT correlations are proposed that consider the energy transfer in both tests and explicitly consider casing friction in the BPT. A recommended procedure for estimating equivalent SPT N60 from BPT blow count is presented. Key words : Becker penetration test, standard penetration test, dynamic measurement, pile driving, stress-wave propagation.

Abstract:
AbstractThe standard penetration test (SPT) is the most common test conducted in the field, and it is used to determine in situ properties of different soils. Although it is a matter of debate, these tests are also used for the determination of the consistency of fine-grained soils, whereby the test results can also be utilized to establish numerous empirical correlations to predict the strength of soils in the field. In this study, unsupervised clustering algorithms were employed to classify the SPT standard penetration resistance value (SPT-N) in the field. In this scope, shear strength and liquidity index parameters were used to classify the SPT-N values by taking the classification system of Terzaghi and Peck (1967) into consideration. The results showed that the input parameters were successful for classifying the SPT-N value to an acceptable degree of strength attribute. Therefore, in cases where the SPT tests are unreliable or could not be performed, laboratory tests on undisturbed specimens can give valuable information regarding the consistency and SPT-N value of the soil specimen under investigation. Data in this study is based on several tests that were conducted in a region; nevertheless, it is advised that the results of this study should be evaluated using global data.

According to the International Reference Test procedure for the standard penetration test (SPT), in situations where comparisons of SPT results are important, calibrations should be made to evaluate the efficiency of the equipment in terms of energy transfer. However, equipment to measure the energy transfer of the hammer anvil system is not commonly available. Ten years ago a system was developed and made commercially available. However, this system is no longer available. An SPT energy calibration system is described that has been developed based on a microcomputer. The load cell to measure the compressive stress wave beneath the SPT anvil consists of a 0.5-m length of strain-gauged AW rod. Specialized software has been developed to record the force–time record for each hammer blow on a portable microcomputer. Examples of energy measurements are presented and discussed.

Abstract:
Standard penetration test (SPT) has been widely used in offshore exploration because of its unique advantages. Unlike onshore exploration, offshore construction areas are characterized by high waves and water depths ranging from several meters to tens of meters. As a result, the reliability of offshore SPT is significantly reduced compared with onshore SPT. Currently, the probe rod length correction of SPT is not involved in geotechnical engineering investigation codes and related research, which greatly limits the application of this method in offshore exploration. Therefore, a series of SPTs were carried out in offshore environments with different water depths, with a maximum rod length of 65 m. The acceleration and axial stress at each test point of the rod were monitored by the dynamic signal data acquisition system, and the hammer impacting energy at each test point was obtained by Force–Velocity (F-V) method. The test results show that the correction of the rod length of the offshore SPT is different from that of the traditional SPT, and it needs to be further corrected for the water depth. In this paper, a modified method of rod length for offshore SPT is proposed, which can provide reference for the application of offshore SPT.

ABSTRACT One of the field investigations to determine the characteristics of the soil is Standard Penetration Test (SPT). In the SPT test, soil samples can also be obtained, then it can be used to determine the physical and mechanical properties of a soil. Meanwhile, the value of SPT (N-SPT) can be used to determine the bearing capacity of deep foundations. Deep foundations are usually used in high-rise buildings that have large loads with hard soil conditions that are relatively deep. This study analyzes the bearing capacity of spherical concrete pile with various diameters of 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm, and 100 mm. In this study, the pile depth was determined at 20 meters. The analysis was carried out using empirical methods and Allpile programming. The location of this study was in the northern part of Semarang. The results show that the diameter has an effect on increasing the bearing capacity. Mapping of the results of the bearing capacity was also presented using GIS. Based on the map, it is found that the lowest bearing capacity is located in the northern part (location of Tanjung Mas Semarang) with soft soil classification. Meanwhile, the highest carrying capacity is shown in Central Semarang with medium soil classification.Keywords: spherical pile, bearing capacity, N-SPT, empirical method, Allpile, GIS mapping ABSTRAK Salah satu investigasi dilapangan untuk mengetahui karakteristik tanah adalah menggunakan Standard Penetration Test (SPT).

Abstract:
In general practice, soil investigation (SI) incorporating bore hole sampling produced the most reliable value of the relevant soil parameters for the purpose of actual calculation on factor of safety (FOS) in slopes even tough time consuming and very expensive. Assessments of slope stability using electrical parameters have least been research by many scholars due to non-destructive and very sensitive and it is attractive tool for describing the subsurface properties of the slope without disturbing the physical characteristic of the soil. The method has been applied in various contexts like groundwater exploration, agronomical management by identifying areas of excessive or soil horizon thickness and bedrock depth. This paper investigates the relationship between electrical resistivity and SPT-N values of sandy soils. The research work consists of field resistivity surveys, soil boring and soil characterization tests. Field survey included 1D vertical electrical sounding (VES) and SPT method in obtaining SPT-N value. The test being conducted on 3 different areas and 11 sandy soil sample with electrical, physical soil characterization data which being used for least-squares regression method. In this part of the study, correlations of electrical resistivity with SPT values of soil were assessed. The findings showed good correlation between the resistivity and soil properties. The obtained results demonstrate the possibility usage of electrical resistivity survey as an alternative to standard penetration test SPT is possible.

Abstract:
The log of a SPT in very soft clay may simply indicate a zero blow-count, or present information on the penetration – under self-weight – of the composition (sampler, rods and hammer) as recommended by some standards. The second type of information is often disregarded by design engineers due to the lack of a standard procedure for measuring these penetrations or because the test is regarded as not sensitive enough to give an indication on the undrained shear strength of soft clays. The penetration under the composition’s selfweight, however, can indicate the magnitude of Su, which, along with other more specific and sensitive tests, can help in assessing the spatial distribution of clay consistency in a large deposit. A proposed test procedure and interpretation had been given in an earlier technical note. This note presents an extended formulation and an evaluation of Su via the SPT at a construction site in Rio de Janeiro, including comparisons with results of piezocone and vane tests. The values of Su obtained with the SPT lie between the profiles given by vane tests, corrected by Plasticity Index, and the Critical State Theory, the latter representing a lower bound to the clay strength.

Abstract:
This paper evaluated the influence of Standard Penetration Test (SPT) correction factors, namely the hammer energy efficiency, borehole diameter, drill rod length, and sampling method, on the correlations between SPT resistance (SPT-N) and undrained shear strength (Su). Comparisons were made between new equations (with and without SPT corrections), which were derived from soil data collected from Penang Island, Malaysia. The coefficient of determination, Absolute Average Relative Error, Standard Deviation, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed as the basis for the assessments. Finally, a comprehensive analysis was carried out to evaluate the relationship between uncorrected ratio (Su/N) or corrected ratio (Su/N60) and Plasticity Index (PI)/Liquidity Index (LI). Based on the results, all correction factors recorded a significant impact on the estimated Su, as the ANOVA calculation suggested that the borehole diameter correction was the most statistically significant. Furthermore, the Su/N and Su/N60 exhibited increasing trends with increased PI and LI, which may be attributed to the soil’s state and behaviour. Additionally, cubic regression is the best-fit equation to correlate the parameters. In summary, this study provided new insights into the influence of correction factors, which can be used to improve the accuracy of the empirical correlations and engineering designs.

Abstract:
Coarse soils can contain flaky grains in addition to rounded or angular grains, along with a varying fines content. Depending on the regional geology, however, the mica grain content can be remarkable, reaching 30 % or higher. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that mica grains would affect the soil behaviour. In this study, soils of a delta deposit that are known to involve mica grains were examined. The river sand was considered as the host material and the mica grain contents were determined by means of the flotation technique. A correlation between the mica content as found using the flotation technique and XRD count numbers obtained using an X-ray diffraction test method for each soil sample was established. The standard penetration test (SPT) blow counts from various boreholes were interpreted from the mica content’s influence point of view. The results showed that the mica grains would reduce the SPT resistance at certain fines-content, host-sand, mica-grain combinations. The reduction in the SPT resistance as a result of the presence of mica grains might reach eight units at depths close to the ground surface. This influence is expressed by means of a dimensionless parameter (MCef); however, it diminished with an increasing effective stress and fines content. The findings of the present study show that the influence of particle shape on the overall soil behaviour deserves further study.

Abstract:
Cone penetration testing (CPT) in Canada is usually performed using locally available drilling rigs. The limited pushing capacity of most drilling rigs coupled with the risk of damage to expensive cone penetrometers has tended to restrict the CPT to generally loose or soft soils. Therefore, in regions dominated by stiff glacial soils the more rugged standard penetration test (SPT) is still the most commonly used in situ test during geotechnical investigations. However, there are many limitations with the SPT with respect to interpretation and repeatability, especially the uncertainty with the energy delivered from various SPT hammer anvil systems. A downhole cone penetration test (DCPT) has been developed by modifying the equipment and procedure of the standard electric CPT. The DCPT consists of a simple, inexpensive electric cone penetrometer attached to a 1.5 m (5 ft) length of AW drill rod. The test is performed by pushing the cone 1.5 m into the base of an open borehole to produce a continuous profile of penetration resistance Qc, over the 1.5-m interval or whatever interval penetration is possible. The test incorporates the simplicity, ruggedness, and depth capability of the SPT but is able to define a near-continuous, accurate, and repeatable cone penetration resistance profile. The equipment and procedure of the DCPT is described in detail, and results from a near-continuous DCPT and an adjacent continuous CPT are presented and compared with the results obtained from an adjacent borehole with SPT. Excellent agreement was found between the results of the DCPT and the CPT. Key words : in situ, cone penetration testing, stiff soils.

In this paper, a new approach is presented for developing a liquefaction limit state function, which defines a boundary that separates liquefaction from no-liquefaction occurrence. The new approach is developed using a database consisting of 243 field liquefaction performance cases at sites where standard penetration tests (SPT) had been conducted. This database is first used to train and test an artificial neural network for predicting the occurrence of liquefaction or no liquefaction. The successfully trained neural network is then used to establish a liquefaction limit state function. Based on the developed limit state function, mapping functions that relate calculated factors of safety to probability of liquefaction are established. The established mapping functions form a basis for the development of a risk-based chart for liquefaction potential evaluation.Key words: probability, risk-based design, liquefaction potential, SPT, artificial neural network.

Abstract:
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are often used recently by researchers to solve complex and nonlinear problems. Standard penetration test (SPT) and cone penetration test (CPT) are field tests that are often used to obtain soil parameters. There have been many previous studies that examined the value obtained through the SPT test with the CPT test, but the research carried out still uses equations that are linear. This research will conduct an estimated value of SPT on cohesive soil using CPT data in the form of end resistance and blanket resistance, and laboratory test data such as effective overburden pressure, liquid limit, plastic limit and percentage of sand, silt and clay. This study used 242 data with testing areas in several cities on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. The developed artificial neural network will be created without data normalization. The final results of this study are in the form of root mean square error (RMSE) values 3.441, mean absolute error (MAE) 2.318 and R2 0.9451 for training data and RMSE 2.785, MAE 2.085, R2 0.9792 for test data. The RMSE, MAE and R2 values in this study indicate that the ANN that has been developed is considered quite good and efficient in estimating the SPT value.

The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the most widely used method for dynamic testing of soils. The test is simple and robust but difficult to control and not fully standardized. As a result, experimental results typically show large variations and poor repeatability. To mitigate that correction factors such as energy normalization and rod length have been introduced in SPT practice. This study provides an examination of the two correction factors using models based on the discrete element method (DEM).

Soil parameters such as physical, chemical, and strength parameters play an important issue to classify the soil. Cohesion and friction angle are an important factor to understand the nature of the soil. Furthermore, standard Penetration Test (SPT) is one of the most common tests in the field and used to determine the strength of soil in the field prior laboratory tests. The variation in the properties of the soil in different regions, give differ values when using the standard methods, formulas, and correlations. In this paper, an overview of the methods and guidelines currently available in the scientific literature for evaluating the strength capacity of the soil, is reported. Further, important practical issues which contribute in the soil strength in different regions based on cohesion and friction angle used SPT are discussed. Moreover, the correlation results from the standard penetration test compared with those from cohesion and friction angle based on samples number and regions. Finally, the paper mentions the famous correlation in this domain and others from the standard code at USA, Jordan, Japan and UK. The compared results using guides from these standards showed big different, which let us to recommend that, these standards are not suitable for soil strength calculations due to different in the soil parameters from region to other.

Abstract:
Nowadays, in situ tests have played a viable role in geotechnical engineering and construction technology. Besides lab tests conducted on undisturbed soil samples, many different kinds of in-situ tests were used and proved to be more efficient in foundation design such as pressuremeter PMT, cone penetration test CPT, standard SPT, etc. Among them, a standard penetration test (SPT for short) is easy to carry out at the site. For decades, it has proved reliable to sandy soil, but many viewpoints and opinions argued that the test was not appropriately applicable to cohesive soil because of scattered and dispersed data of SPT blow counts through different layers. This paper firstly studies how reliable the SPT data can predict the physical and mechanical properties; secondly, the soil strength is determined in terms of corrected N-SPT values, and finally the bearing capacity of a pile penetrating cohesion soil. By analyzing data from 40 boreholes located in 18 projects in Ho Chi Minh City, South VietNam, coefficients of determination between SPT numbers and physical and mechanical properties of different soil kinds are not the same: R2 = 0.623 for sand, =0.363 for sandy clay and =0.189 for clay. The spatial variability of soil properties is taken into account by calculating the scale of fluctuation θ=4.65m beside the statistically-based data in horizontal directions. Finally, the results from two theoretical approaches of predicting pile bearing capacity were compared to those of finite element program Plaxis 3D and static load test at site. Correlation between the capacity computed by using corrected N-values instead of soil strength and results of static load test has proved to be well suitable in evaluating the bearing capacity of driven and jack-in piles, particularly installing in the cohesive soil using the SPT blows.

Dry jet mixing has been widely used since the 1980s for stabilization of soft soil. The quality and strength of the dry-jet-mixed columns must be evaluated to confirm the success of the stabilization.

The strength characteristics along the length of the column were determined, and correlations between the SPT blow count and the unconfined compressive strength were developed.

Abstract:
In this paper, the effect of spatial correlation of standard penetration test (SPT) data on the bearing capacity of driven piles in sand is analyzed. First, the direct approach for using SPT data to determine the bearing capacity of piles in sand is used to derive the expressions for probabilistic prediction of pile bearing capacity by considering the spatial correlation of the SPT data. To analyze the relationship between the probability of failure and the factor of safety, a procedure based on the advanced first-order, second-moment (FOSM) method is used. Then parametric studies are conducted on the spatial correlation between the spatial average of SPT numbers over the pile length, NLV, and the spatial average of SPT numbers over an interval near the pile base, NbV, and its effect on the bearing capacity of piles. The results indicate that it is important to consider the spatial correlation between NLVand NbVin the probabilistic prediction of pile bearing capacity. Ignoring this spatial correlation will underestimate the probability of failure and lead to unsafe design. Finally, three tested piles are analyzed to demonstrate the probabilistic analysis of piles by considering the spatial correlation of SPT data and the procedure for probabilistic analysis of pile bearing capacity is summarized.

Abstract:
The Becker penetration test (BPT) is the only tool available for characterizing gravelly soils with a probe diameter that is meaningfully larger than that of the standard penetration test (SPT) and the cone penetration test (CPT). Measurements on the BPT system during operation provide information on how penetration is controlled by the driving energy and frictional resistance along the shaft. This has led to development of the instrumented Becker penetration test (iBPT), which uses measurements of force and acceleration obtained directly behind the drill string tip to compute the residual energy and displacement induced by each hammer blow. These measurements are used to produce a continuous profile of normalized blow counts that are repeatable, unaffected by varying driving energy or accumulated shaft resistance, and can be used to directly estimate equivalent SPT N60 blow count values as per DeJong et al. and Ghafghazi et al. in their 2017 studies. The measurements obtained also enabled evaluation of previously developed methods by Harder and Seed in 1986 and Sy and Campanella in 1994. This evaluation revealed that the hammer energy normalization approaches employed by Sy and Campanella and especially Harder and Seed are not robust across the broad range of conditions observed. The predicted equivalent SPT N60 values by Harder and Seed and Sy and Campanella methods are influenced by the shaft resistance magnitude as both methods are based on above-ground field measurements. Estimated N60 values produced by the two methods can be inconsistent with each other, with N60 values produced by the iBPT, and with measured N60 values obtained directly from SPT (where values are obtained in the absence of gravel).

The soils examined are classified according to well-established classification diagrams. The sandy soils are described in the range of dense to very dense. They have good strength and deformation characteristics – with a high friction angle and high Young’s modulus but the presence of a high level of groundwater is a prerequisite for their liquefaction under dynamic impacts.

Abstract:
Abstract Surface waves propagating in layered media inherently possess multimodal dispersion characteristics. However, traditional surface wave testing methods employing measurements at the free surface usually capture only a single apparent dispersion curve, especially when using short geophone arrays common to near surface and geotechnical-scale investigations. Such single-mode or fragmented multimode apparent dispersion curves contain only a fraction of the possible dispersion information, thus limiting the accuracy of inverted profiles. To enable more robust measurement of higher Rayleigh-wave modes, a recently developed hybrid minimally invasive multimodal surface wave method is combined herein with the widely used geotechnical standard penetration test (SPT), which is employed as a practical and ubiquitous downhole source. Upon superimposing surface wave dispersion data for a range of SPT impact depths within the soil, higher modes can be measured more consistently and reliably relative to traditional non-invasive testing methods. As a result, misidentification of multiple dispersion modes can be practically eliminated, significantly improving the accuracy and certainty of inversion results.

Evaluation of the liquefaction potential of a liquefaction-prone area is important for geotechnical earthquake engineering, both for assessment for site selection and for planning and new constructions. The liquefaction potential index for the city of Duzce in northwestern Turkey using the empirical relationships between the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and the Shear Wave Velocity Test (VS) was investigated in this study. After,VSvalues based on SPT blow counts (N) were obtained from the alluvial soils in the city of Duzce. The liquefaction potential indexes of the soils were determined using the empirical relationships between the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and the Shear Wave Velocity Test (VS) calculating for a probable earthquake ofMW=7.2. In the result of the study, the liquefaction potential index (LPI) values were interpreted and compared evaluating the SPTNblow count values obtained from the study area. Based on the empirical relationships assumed for the soils, it was observed that there was not a perfect agreement between the results of the two methods. The liquefaction potential index values using the SPTNblow counts were found to be lower than those of theVSmethod.

One of the important structures in a bridge construction is foundation. Many things need to be considered when building a foundation, from choosing the type of foundation to calculating the foundation load. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the strength of the pile foundation in the construction project of the Medan-Kualanamu-Tebing Tinggi highway bridge. Calculation of the pile foundation strength is carried out by calculating the carrying capacity of single piles and the carrying capacity of group piles in one abutment. The bearing capacity of the pile foundation is calculated based on the soil investigation test results, namely sondir, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) using the Meyerhoff method. Based on the calculation of single pile, the bearing capacity of pile groups can be calculated using the Converse-Labarre method. The dimensions of the piles used are circular with a diameter of 60cm and a length of 22m. From the calculations using the Meyerhoff method, based on sondir data, the carrying capacity of a single pile is 200.45 tons. Based on the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) data, the single pile carrying capacity is 260.10 tons. The results from the PDA test data is 299.99 tons.

Abstract:
The Becker penetration test (BPT) blow counts are commonly correlated to the standard penetration test (SPT) N-values for foundation design and liquefaction potential assessment in coarse-grained soils. Most of the existing correlations, however, do not adequately account for the variable energy output of the ICE 180 diesel hammer used in the Becker system, and the shaft resistance acting on the Becker pipe is often ignored. To obtain reliable BPT–SPT correlations, an extensive study of the BPT has been conducted at several sites in British Columbia. Dynamic measurements of Becker drill rigs and penetration tests were conducted that included hammer combustion and bounce chamber pressures, as well as force and acceleration near the top of the drill pipe. The dynamic field data are presented, including the maximum energy transferred to the top of the Becker pipe (ENTHRU). An energy approach for correcting Becker blow counts to a reference ENTHRU level of 30% of the hammer-rated energy is proposed. Different combustion conditions, drill rigs, and pipe sizes are investigated in the study. The test results show that ENTHRU is a fundamental and useful parameter for normalizing the BPT blow counts to account for the variable energy transfer from the diesel hammer.

Abstract:
Taking the project of the Su-xin highway treated by using the resonant compaction method as the reference, a new method for the evaluation of liquefaction potential is proposed based on the piezocone penetration test (CPTU) and the standard penetration test (SPT). The soil behavior type index (Ic) obtained from CPTUs and the standard penetration test index (N63.5), obtained from SPTs, are analyzed for saturated silty sand and silt. The analysis result reveals a linear relationship between N63.5 and Ic, given by N63.5=−18.8Ic+52.0. The larger the value of Ic is, the greater the viscosity of soil is, and the smaller the value of N63.5 is. According to the method, liquefaction assessment of saturated silty sand and silt foundation can be conducted by using N63.5 based on the Code of Seismic Design of Building. N63.5 is expressed by a single Ic, which is calculated from the CPTU data. Compared with existing evaluation methods, this method can provide continuous standard penetration test values, moreover, this method involves a simple calculation, and the results obtained using the method are reliable.

<p>The geophysics test using electrical resistivity method has been conducted in the area of UNS Campus to indicate the lithological of subsurface. This method is categorized as a Non-Destructive Test (NDT) due to the data acquisition is done at the ground level and no destruction during the test, which is more advantageous than destructive method such as drilling and SPT test. This study was performed with Schlumberger configuration in three location by electrical resistivity sounding. The acquisition data uses Resistivity meter OYO 2119 McOHM-EL with the track length is 100 m, while the data processing use IPI2Win to get a logarithmic graph between distance and resistivity and Origin to obtain graphic of resistivity and SPT. The result of this study indicates that electrical resistivity has a good correlation with SPT data. The electrical resistivity graph shows a linear increase along with increment of the depth, which is similar to the SPT graph. The slope difference at the first location is 2.44±1,197, the second location is 2.028±0.822, and the third location is 0.622±0.735.</p>

Abstract:
Discriminant models are developed for evaluating soil liquefaction potential, using standard penetration test (SPT) data for 592 occurrences of liquefaction and nonliquefaction. The discriminant model used is a multivariate statistical method. The square root of the SPT N value, (N1)601/2, and the logarithm of the cyclic stress ratio, ln CSR7.5, are adopted as the major parameters for analyses. Two models measuring liquefaction resistance through the SPT N value are also established in this study, which allows calculated results to be compared with the empirical curves. Key words: liquefaction, discriminant analysis, misclassified probability.

Abstract:
Estimation of ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of pre-stressed high-strength concrete (PHC) pipe pile is critical for optimizing pile design and construction. In this study, a standard penetration test (SPT), static cone penetration test (CPT) and static load test (SLT) were carried out to assess, determine and compare the UBC of the PHC pipe pile embedded in saturated sandy layers at different depths. The UBC was calculated with three methods including the JGJ94-2008 method, Meyerhof method and Schmertmann method based on in-situ blow count (N) of SPT (SPT-N) which was higher than the values recommended in survey report regardless of pile length. The average UBC values calculated with cone-tip resistance and sleeve friction from CPTs was also higher than the value recommended in the survey report. Moreover, the actual UBC values directly obtained by load-displacement curves from SLTs were in line with the calculated values based on in-situ SPTs and CPTs, but approximately twice as high as the values recommended in the survey report regardless of pile length. For the SPT method, the application of bentonite mud in saturated sand layers is critical for the assessment of pile capacity in the survey phase, CPTs can provide reliable results regardless of soil characteristics and groundwater if the soil layer can be penetrated, and SLTs are necessary to accurately determine the UBC in complex stratum.

Abstract:
Pembangunan suatu konstruksi, pertama – tama sekali yang dilaksanakan dan dikerjakan dilapangan adalah pekerjaan pondasi ( struktur bawah ) baru kemudian melaksanakan pekerjaan struktur atas. Pembangunan suatu pondasi sangat besar fungsinya pada suatu konstruksi. Secara umum pondasi didefinisikan sebagai bangunan bawah tanah yang meneruskan beban yang berasal dari berat bangunan itu sendiri dan beban luar yang bekerja pada bangunan ke tanah yang disekitarnya. Pondasi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah pondasi tiang pancang dengan sistem hidrolik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisa dan menghitung daya dukung tiang pancang (mini pile) menggunakan data cone penetration test (CPT) dengan metode lansung dan metode Van Der Ween, data standart penetration test (SPT) dengan metode Mayerhoff dan Luciano De Court, dan hasil perhitungan korelasi pembacaan manometer pada Hydraulic Jack. Perhitungan kapasitas daya dukung rata-rata kedalaman 12 m pada data sondir (CPT) menggunakan Metode Langsung lebih efektif dibandingkan Metode Van Der Ween karena menghasilkan daya dukung rata-rata yang lebih besar dengan Qult (186,75 > 66,96) ton, dan Qijin (45,30 > 22,57) ton, pada data standard penetration test (SPT) menggunakan Metode Luciano De Court lebih efektif dibandingkan Metode Mayerhoff karena menghasilkan daya dukung rata-rata yang lebih besar dengan Qult (197,08 > 139,22) ton dan Qijin (65,69 > 46,41) ton.

Abstract:
Conventional soil investigation methods such as Mackintosh Probe Test (MPT) have limitations, e.g., require manual work for the equipment and data accuracy is low due to human error. While Standard Penetration test (SPT) needs high skilled workers and the cost per testing is expensive. Hence, Screw Driving Sounding test (SDS) was developed in Japan as a solution to the aforementioned disadvantages. An attempt was done to implement this test in Malaysia at different types of soils. This paper presents the results obtained from Batu Pahat and Cheras sites. Data from SDS tests were compared with the existing data of SPT and MPT available from Batu Pahat and Cheras sites, respectively. Results of the coefficient of determination, R2 = 0.721 for Batu Pahat Site and 0.851 for Cheras Site illustrate that the SPT and MPT results are highly correlated with SDS test results. From this preliminary findings, it shows that SDS test has the potential for soil characterizations in soil investigation work in Malaysia.

Abstract:
This paper undertakes liquefaction analysis with simplified procedures with standard penetration test (SPT) data and cone penetration test (CPT) data obtained from an offshore wind farm in the Changhua area. The soil liquefaction resistance calculated by the SPT-based simplified procedure suggested by the Japan Railway Association was in agreement with the laboratory results. The CPT is widely used in the site investigation of offshore wind farms. However, Taiwan’s registered professional engineers are still familiar with soil liquefaction analysis for offshore wind farms using SPT-based methods. Hence, a hybrid method that incorporates an SPT–CPT correlation into the New Japan Road Association (NJRA) method is proposed to evaluate the soil liquefaction potential for offshore wind farms in Taiwan. In the case studies of soil liquefaction with five groups of adjacent boreholes in Changhua’s offshore wind farms, the hybrid method shows that the soil liquefaction potential with CPT data is consistent with the results calculated with SPT-based simplified procedures. To quantify the risk of soil liquefaction, Monte Carlo simulation is used to calculate the uncertainty of CPT–qc for estimating the probability of soil liquefaction with the hybrid method.

Abstract:
The status of in situ testing and its application to foundation engineering are presented and discussed. The in situ test methods are discussed within the framework of three groups: logging, specific, and combined test methods. The major logging test methods discussed are standard penetration test (SPT), cone penetration test (CPT), and the flat plate dilatometer test (DMT). The major specific test methods discussed are the prebored pressuremeter test (PMT), the self-bored pressuremeter test (SBPMT), and the screw plate load test (SPLT). Discussion is also presented on recent tests that combine features of logging tests (using the CPT) and specific tests (e.g. the seismic, the electrical resistivity/dielectric, and the lateral stress sensing cone penetration tests). A brief discussion is also presented on the applicability, as perceived by the author, of existing in situ test methods and the future of in situ testing applied to foundation engineering. Key words: in situ testing, foundation engineering, penetration testing, pressuremeter.
