STANDARD PENETRATION TEST

The SPT(Standard Penetration Test) is a kind of in-situ test conducted on soil to determined the Geotechnical Engineering Properties of the soil. This is one of the very easy to carry out test as it is simple and handy and inexpensive. The soil test with SPT is conducted to determined the following a few properties, Ex: Relative density, Bearing capacity of soil, Shear Strength, Cohesive properties of soil, types of soil strata presence in a particular place where Civil Engineering Structures will be constructed and according to the test results, the Structures shall be designed and built. If you want to know how the SPT test is conducted on the field then watch this simple set up and test for the soil done by SPT on the field.
