Standard Penetration Test
For Soil
CHINTADA SAILENDRA KUMAR
ERP No: 66002296
Graduate Trainee Engineer
1
 Standard Penetration test
 It is a method of subsurface soil investigation.
 It is the most commonly “in situ” testing method used to determine the
geotechnical engineering properties of soils.
 It gives “standard penetration resistance” or “N-value” to soils.
2
 Equipment
 Drilling Equipment
 It provides a clean borehole, 100 to 150 mm in diameter, for insertion
of the sampler to collect undisturbed soil sample by preforming
penetration test.
 Casing is used when drilling is done in sand, soft clay or other soils in
which the sides of boreholes likely to cave in.
 In sandy and other non-cohesive soils below water table drilling mud is
preferable than casing.
 Split spoon sampler – IS : 9640 -1980
3
Split Spoon Sampler
4
 Drive Weight Assembly
 It consists of a driving head of 63.5 kg weight is expected to have a
free fall of 75 cm by using guide rope.
 The drill rods attached to the sampler should be tightly coupled and
straight in alignment.
 Other Equipment's – Lifting bail, Tongs, Screw Jack, Rope etc.,
5
Standard Penetration Test Procedure
6
 Procedure
 Driving the casing
 Cleaning the borehole
 Obtaining the samples
 Removal of sampler and Labelling
Driving the casing
 Casing shall not be driven below the test level of soil.
 In Cohesion less soils which cannot stand without casing, the casing
pipe to be advanced by slowly turning the casing rather than the
driving.
 Vibration caused by driving may alter the density of soil deposits below
the bottom of the borehole.
7
 Cleaning the borehole
 In case wash boring is adopted for cleaning borehole, side discharge
bits are permissible.
 Sands may be disturbed by flow of water into the borehole, no water
shall be allowed above the water table
 While boring below water table water level shall be maintained at least
1.5m above the water table level.
 Bentonite slurry of approximate consistency required to maintain the
raised water level above the water table level.
 In cohesive soils cleaning of borehole has to be done by bailer with a
flap valve.
8
 Obtaining the samples
 Test shall be made at intervals of not more than 1.5m.This interval may
be increased to 3m if in between vane shear test is performed.
 The following information shall be noted and recorded.
 Depth of bottom of borehole below GL,
 Penetration of Sampler into the soil under the combined weight of
sampler and rods,
 Water level in the casing or borehole, and
 Depth of bottom of casing below Ground Level.
 The split spoon sampler shall be seated for 15cm with the blows of a
hammer falling through height of 75cm.This procedure has to be done
for 3 times to get 45cm penetration. The number of blows required to
penetrate 15cm to be noted.
9
Standard Penetration Test Procedure
10
 The first 15cm drive is considered as a seating drive. The total blows
required for second and third 15cm shall be termed as the penetration
resistance ’N’.
 If split spoon sampler is driven less than 45cm, then the penetration
resistance shall be for last 30cm of penetration.
 In case of very soft subsoil stratum, the sampler may sink under its
own weight, for such conditions it is not required to give any blows to
split spoon sampler and SPT N value should be stated as zero.
 Removal of sampler and Labelling
 The sampler shall be raised to the surface and opened.
 A typical sample or samples of soil opened from the split spoon
sampler shall e put into jars without ramming.
 The jar must have a self sealing top or sealed with wax to prevent
evaporation of soil moisture.
11
12
SPT Soil Samples
 If the packing as specified is not available, then the liner may be used.
 The samples shall not be stored in the sun.
 Labels shall be fixed to the jar or notations shall be written on the cover
with the following information
 Origin of sample
 Job designation
 Boring number
 Sample number
 Depth of sampling
 Penetration record
 Length of recovery
 Date of sampling.
13
 Report
 Data obtained in borings shall be recorded in the field book with the
following information
 Date of boring
 Reference datum
 Job Identification
 Boring Number
 Sample number
 Type of sampler
 Drilling method
 Sample elevation and recovery ratio
14
 Limits of stratum
 Water table information
 Soil identification including condition of samples
 Penetration records
 Casing used
 Weather data
15
 Corrections
 Due to Overburden
 The N’ value for cohesion less shall be corrected for overburden
pressure
 Due to Dilatancy
 This correction shall be done if the stratum consists of fine sand
and silt below water table for N’ values greater than 15
 Correction, 𝑁" = 15 + 1/2 (𝑁′ − 15)
16
 Reference
 IS : 2131 -1981 - Method For Standard Penetration Test For Soil
 IS : 9640 -1980 -Specification For Split Spoon Sampler

The number of blows required to penetrate 15cm to be noted. 9
  • 11.  The first 15cm drive is considered as a seating drive. The total blows required for second and third 15cm shall be termed as the penetration resistance ’N’.  If split spoon sampler is driven less than 45cm, then the penetration resistance shall be for last 30cm of penetration.  In case of very soft subsoil stratum, the sampler may sink under its own weight, for such conditions it is not required to give any blows to split spoon sampler and SPT N value should be stated as zero.  Removal of sampler and Labelling  The sampler shall be raised to the surface and opened.  A typical sample or samples of soil opened from the split spoon sampler shall e put into jars without ramming.  The jar must have a self sealing top or sealed with wax to prevent evaporation of soil moisture. 11
  • 13.  If the packing as specified is not available, then the liner may be used.  The samples shall not be stored in the sun.  Labels shall be fixed to the jar or notations shall be written on the cover with the following information  Origin of sample  Job designation  Boring number  Sample number  Depth of sampling  Penetration record  Length of recovery  Date of sampling. 13
  • 14.  Report  Data obtained in borings shall be recorded in the field book with the following information  Date of boring  Reference datum  Job Identification  Boring Number  Sample number  Type of sampler  Drilling method  Sample elevation and recovery ratio 14
  • 15.  Limits of stratum  Water table information  Soil identification including condition of samples  Penetration records  Casing used  Weather data 15
  • 16.  Corrections  Due to Overburden  The N’ value for cohesion less shall be corrected for overburden pressure  Due to Dilatancy  This correction shall be done if the stratum consists of fine sand and silt below water table for N’ values greater than 15  Correction, 𝑁" = 15 + 1/2 (𝑁′ − 15) 16
