Standard Penetration Test is a powerful tool for
measuring the penetration resistance of the ground and relating it to the
degree of compactness of cohesion less soil and consistency of cohesive
soil. The results can be used for design of foundations. SPT is widely used
for measuring the undisturbed strength of the soil and for assessing its
resistance to liquefaction due to ground vibrations caused by earthquakes or
other dynamic forces. The Standard Penetration Resistance is measured as the
number of blows 'N' required to drive a split spoon sampler to a depth of
300 mm using a 65 kg weight falling freely through a height of 750 mm.
The equipment consists of the following:
- Split Spoon Sampler with Brass Liner or without Liner
- Drive Weight, Cast Iron, 65 kg
- Guide Pipe Assembly Tripod, with Pulley and built-in Ladder
- 'A' Type Drill Rods
- 10 rod having 1 meter length
Split Spoon Sampler with Brass Liner
Split Spoon Sampler without Brass Liner
