Standard penetration test also gives an idea about the unconfined compressive strength of clayey soil.
|
N – Values |
Unconfined Compressive Strength (KPa or kN/sqm) |
Consistency |
|
< 2 |
< 25 |
Very Soft |
|
2 – 4 |
25 – 50 |
Soft |
|
4 – 8 |
50 – 100 |
Medium |
|
8 – 16 |
100 – 200 |
Stiff |
|
16 – 32 |
200 – 400 |
Very Stiff |
|
> 32 |
> 400 |
Hard |
From the table provided above, we can see that, when the unconfined compressive strength of the soil is 160 kN/sqm, the soil will be stiff and its N-Value will be between 8 - 16.
