The use of SPT correction factor is often confusing.
Corrections for field procedures
(Energy Correction) are always appropriate, but the overburden pressure correction may or may not be appropriate depending on the procedures by those who developed the analysis method under consideration. For cohesive soil there is no need for overburden pressure correction (Peck et al.,1974 pp. 114). For Cohesionless soil at first overburden pressure correction is made, then if it is fine sand or silt under water table with N value >15, dilatancy correction is made. For coarse sand dilatancy correction is not required. Dilatancy Equation (For fine Sand and Silt below water table with N value > 15)
