At the site of a proposed structure the variation of the SPT number (N60) with depth in a deposit of normally consolidated sand is as given below: Depth, m: 1.5 3.0 4.5 6.0 7.5 9.0 NG0: 6 8 9 8 13 14 The ground water table (W.T) is located at a depth of 6.5 m. The dry unit weight y dry of the sand above W.T is 18 kN/m³, and its saturated unit weight ysat below W.T is 20.2 kN/m³. (a) Correct the SPT numbers. (b) Select an appropriate SPT corrected number (No) for use in designs. Assume the given depths are located within the influence zone (zone of major stressing).
