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.
 
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.

f-d

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.
