Boring Log A soil profile is shown in figure (1) along with the standard penetration numbers at each 1.5m. The numbers of blows required of three 150-mm intervals are recorded. Use united state safety hammer with E, =90 percent, the borehole diameter is 110 mm, the drill rod length is 8 m and the sample is without liner. The water table at 1.5 m. Calculate the measured SPT N values, N70, in depths (1.5 and 3 m).
