Prayush Rajbhandari 074/MSStE/016 2) Following are the results of SPT in sand. Determine the correct SPT Number (N:}e at various depth. Note that the water table was not observed within a depth of 10.5m below the ground surface. ‘Assume that unit weight of sand is 17.3kN/m? Referto Solution, Depth{m) Neo 15, 8 3.0 7 45 2 6.0 14 75 B above example, e jate the average soil friction angle («p’) for to 2=7.5m. For overburden pressure correction effective overburden pressure and hence unit weight, of soil must be known.
