Question
Consider the following statements:
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) in soils is the most commonly used field test. SPT is used to determine
1. consistency of clay
2. undrained shear strength of soft sensitive clays
3. relative density of sands
4. drained shear strength of fine loose sand
Which of these statements are correct?

Solution
The correct option is C 1 and 3
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) gives N-value which can be corrected for energy, overburden pressure and dilatancy in sequence. The corrected N - value is correlated with relative density and angle of shearing resistance for cohesionless soils; and unconfined compressive strength and consistency of cohesive soils.
