Subject field(s)
  • Soil Tests (Construction)
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
  • Soil Science
DEF

A test to determine the relative densities of non-cohesive sand or silt.

CONT

The standard penetration test determines the number of blows required by a standard weight, when dropped through a standard height, to produce a standard penetration of 12 in. The dynamic penetration test determines the relative density of successive layers by recording the penetration per blow or a specified number of blows. The hardness of residual bitumen and natural asphalt may also be measured by the penetration of a standard needle under specified conditions of loading and temperature.
