Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice outlines a procedure to obtain a record ofnormalized resistance of sands to

3、 the penetration of a standardsampler driven by a standard energy for estimating soilliquefaction potential during earthquakes. The normalizedpenetration resistance determined in this practice may be usefulfor determination of other engineering properties of sands.1.2 This practice uses Test Method

4、D1586 with additionsand modifications to minimize disturbance of saturated loosecohesionless sands during drilling. This practice combinesresults of Test Method D1586 and interprets the data fornormalization purposes.1.3 Due to inherent variability of the SPT, guidance is givenon test configuration

5、and energy adjustments. Penetrationresistance is adjusted for energy delivered in the penetrationtest. Energy adjustments can be estimated or measured andreported.1.4 Standard practice for normalizing penetration resistancevalues is given. Penetration resistance data are normalized to astandard over

6、burden stress level.1.5 The normalized penetration resistance data may be usedto estimate liquefaction resistance of saturated sands fromearthquake shaking. Evaluation of liquefaction resistance maybe applied to natural ground conditions or foundations foreither planned or existing structures.1.6 Us

7、ing this practice representative disturbed samples ofthe soil can be collected for identification purposes.1.7 This practice is limited to use in cohesionless soils (seeTest Method D2487 and classifications of SM, SW, SP, SP-SM,and SW-SM Practice D2488). In most cases, testing is per-formed in satur

8、ated deposits below the water table. In somecases, dry sands may be tested (see 5.4). This practice is notapplicable to lithified materials or fine grained soils. Gravel caninterfere with the test and result in elevated penetrationresistance values. Normalization of penetration resistance val-ues fo

9、r gravelly soils is beyond the scope of this practice.1.8 Penetration resistance measurements often will involvesafety planning, administration, and documentation. This prac-tice does not purport to address all aspects of exploration andsite safety. This standard does not purport to address all of t

10、hesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. Performance of thetest usually involves use of a drill rig; therefor

11、e, safetyrequirements as outlined in applicable safety standards. Forexample, OSHA regulations,2DCDMA safety manual,3drill-ing safety manuals, and other applicable state and localregulations must be observed.1.9 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. Within the text, th

12、e SI units, are shown inparentheses. The values stated in each system are not equiva-lents, therefore, each system must be used independently of theother.1.9.1 In pressure correction calculations, common units areton/ft2, kg/cm2, atm, and bars. Since these units are approxi-mately equal (within a fa

13、ctor of 1.1), many engineers prefer theuse of these units in stress correction calculations. For thoseusing kPa or kN/m2, 100 kPa is approximately equal to oneton/ft2. The stress exponent, n, (see 3.3.1) is approximatelyequal for these units.1.10 This practice may not be applicable in some countries

14、,states, or localities, where rules or standards may differ forapplying penetration resistance to liquefaction estimates. Otherpractices exist for estimating soil instability from penetrationresistance data. Procedures may change with advances ingeotechnical engineering. It is dependent on the user

15、inconsultation with experienced engineers to select appropriatemethods and correction to data. In earthquake engineeringstudies, many phenomena can affect soil instability. Thepractice reflects only one current exploration technique andmethod for normalizing penetration resistance data to a com-mon

For loose sand, specificmeasures and quality checks may be required to assureminimal disturbance. If disturbance is evident, an alternatedrilling method may be required.4.2

43、After an initial seating drive of 0.5 ft (15 cm), a standardpenetration resistance sampler is driven 1.0 ft (30 cm) into soilbelow the bottom of a drill hole using a 140-lbm hammer,dropped 30 in. (75 cm). Penetration resistance, N, is expressedas the number of hammer blows required to drive the samp

44、lerthe 1.0-ft (30-cm) distance.4.3 In Method A, the penetration resistance is adjusted to adrill rod energy ratio of 60 %, N60, by using hammer systemswith an estimated energy delivery. Safety hammers withrope-cathead operation are assumed to deliver approximately60 % drill rod energy (Eri 60 %). Au

45、tomatic hammer energymust be documented in previous measurements for a particularmake and model, either by the manufacturer or from previousmeasurements by other entities.4.4 In Method B, penetration resistance data is adjusted to60 % drill rod energy ratio through directly measured drill rodstress

46、wave energy using Test Method D4633 or other docu-mented procedures. The adjustment can be made to the N valuefor a particular hammer system or the hammer system may beadjusted to deliver 60 % drill rod energy (see 6.4.2).NOTE 1Unless otherwise specified Method B should be used. Addi-tionally, the u

47、se of automatic hammers rather than safety hammers withrope-cathead operation is preferable.4.5 The N60value is normalized to an effective overburdenpressure of 1-tsf (1 kg/cm2, bar, atm) using overburdenpressure correction factors from chamber tests.
