    Standard Penetration Tests: converting N values to densities

    I need both (I think). Literally all the data I have is from a borehole, so the N Valesw, bore hole diam, dephts and thickness of each strata and description of strata. To design the retaining wall I need the underdrained shear strenght (Cu, tau), the saturated and bulk densities and the...

    Standard Penetration Tests: converting N values to densities

    Hi, It's theoretically designing a retaining wall and I only have bore hole records so I can do no further testing. All I have is the N Values, ground water level, height of site above ground and where our building is going on the site. This is all very conceptual design to get us thinking...

    Standard Penetration Tests: converting N values to densities

    Hi I am trying to design a retaining wall atm but I am having some problems as I can't find anyway to convert the N Values I have from borehole readings to densities. I am sure this really is very simple to do but I have unsucessfully searched the web and my core textbook, "Soil Mechanics...
