| Abstract: |
Insufficient information is currently available to fully understand the mechanism of rod friction in DPSH (Dynamic Probe Super Heavy) probing. Consequently, a method is proposed to distinguish profiles in which friction results in excessive blow counts based on normalised profiles. While friction-impacted DPSH profiles are difficult to interpret, those unaffected by friction show better equivalence to SPT (Standard Penetration Test) profiles, especially if used to screen for competent (SPT blow counts > 30) ground conditions. |
