STANDARD PENETRATION TEST
The standard penetration test is the most commonly used in-situ test,
especially for cohesionless soils which can not be easily sampled. The
test is extremely useful for determining the relative density and the
angle of shearing resistance of cohesionless soils. It can also be used
to determine the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils.
