Subsurface Exploration Using the Standard Penetration Test ...
web.mst.edution Test, Cone Penetrometer ABSTRACT The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) have become industry standards for subsurface geotechnical investigations using small diameter (<8-in. [20-cm]) borings and soundings. Both procedures have evolved over a period of 100 and 70 years, respectively, and have
