Hello,
Currently working on a site where they are constructing new houses composed of 2 floors and small spans.
A SPT test was submitted for our review. The N value is so small (N=4) which send us in a very loose silty sand.
The assumed bearing capacity is 8T/m2 according to the general notes.
Based on the spt, i made some calculations and got a bearing pressure of 12 T/m2.
Since the allowable is less than the assumed bearing, should i worry about something ?
Thank you
