Dynamic probing vs SPTN values in site investiagtion

I will like to know more on the difference in using dynamic probing and SPT n values in  site investigations...

RE: Dynamic probing vs SPTN values in site investiagtion

dblock213 - why not sit down and reword your question.  What exactly do you want to know about - what dynamic probing techniques?  You might check out Hunt's book on Site Investigations.

RE: Dynamic probing vs SPTN values in site investiagtion

i think there's an ASTM for dynamic penetration testing and I know there's one for the SPT. Review these and you'll know the differences.  It's not that complicated.

BigH...yes.

RE: Dynamic probing vs SPTN values in site investiagtion

Some manufacturers of dynamic probes will offer some scoop on the possible relationship of that method to SPT.  Then you need to take that with a grain of salt, considering your site materials.
