      Applications of  STP in estimating the bearing capacity of soil: Soil samples that are collected can be used for identifying the type of soil. SPT data can be used to establish the compressibility and relative strength index of the soil. Penetrate to dense layers, gravel, and tilt. With SPT-N valuesRead more

      Applications of  STP in estimating the bearing capacity of soil:

      • Soil samples that are collected can be used for identifying the type of soil.
      • SPT data can be used to establish the compressibility and relative strength index of the soil.
      • Penetrate to dense layers, gravel, and tilt.
      • With SPT-N values, the method can reflect actual soil behavior during earthquakes, that cannot be simulated in a lab.
      • It is used especially for cohesionless soils.
      • The relative density and the angle of cohesionless soils can be determined by using STP.
      • The unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soil can be determined by using STP.

      Applications of  direct shear in estimating the bearing capacity of soil:

      • The drainage is quick and pore pressure dissipates fast as the thickness of the sample is small.
      • Less amount too time is taken by Consolidated- undrained and drained tests.
      • A direct shear test is ideal for drained tests on cohesionless soils.
      • To measure shear strength properties of soil material or discontinuities in rock masses or soil.
