We'll be looking at a site with up to approx 50' of granular, rocky fill material. I've never used one, but I'm thinking a Becker percussion rig would be best for exploring the fill material, what do you think?

How are Becker blows usually recorded in the field? Can anyone recommend a reference for determining settlements using Becker Blows?

Thanks so much!
