My main question is for example you have a shallow foundation and the plans call for a design bearing presure of 3000 psf. What are tests used to verify that the soil condition can support 3000 psf? How do tests differ for sands or clays? What are the ASTM specs for these tests and what is the...
How do DCP test results correlate to verifing allowable design bearing pressure? I know you can correlate DCP blows to a N-value which is how the orginal alowable bearing pressure is based upon along with other soil properties (phi angle(friction angle), coheision value, unit weight, etc). I...
