- Date: 12/20/20 1. The site investigation results below are for a site with sand and gravel above 18 ft and a clayey sand soil below. The upper sand and gravel layer has an average wet unit weight of 105 pcf and the clayey sand has an average unit weight of 112 pef. The standard penetration test was conducted using a safety hammer and a 2.5 in. diameter standard sampler with the results provided in the following table. Note any assumptions. Depth Blows/6 in.

The sand deposit is 30 feet thick and the top of the layer is 24 feet below the ground surface and overlain by a very stiff clay and is underlain by bedrock. The water level has been measured to be at a depth of 30 feet. The standard penetration resistance of the layer has been determined to be 20 blows per foot and a sampler without liners was used; a drill rig with a safety hammer with an efficiency of 60% was used. The length of the drill rod is 5 meters and the borehole diameter is 7.87 inches (200 mm).
