Standard Penetration Test (SPT) Corrections for N₆₀ and (N₁)₆₀

Energy and equipment corrections yield N60; vertical effective stress follows sample depth, groundwater depth, and bulk unit weight, then Idriss and Boulanger (2008) gives CN and (N1)60.

Soil Profile Plot

Vertical effective stress is computed automatically from sample depth, GWT, and bulk unit weight (BHA). Cr is assigned from sample depth ranges, and overburden correction follows Idriss and Boulanger (2008), with 0.40 ≤ CN ≤ 1.70.
