Name Jawad Rauf Reg No 16BNCIV-0828 Setion A Project Spt/Geo-Tech 2 Group No 4

Jawad Rauf conducted a project to determine bearing capacity from standard penetration tests using modified Meyerhof equations. Soil samples were taken from 4 depths in 2 boreholes using SPT. Wet density, soil type, and drill rod length were recorded for each sample. Adjustment factors including overburden pressure, sampler efficiency, borehole diameter, and rod length were applied to the SPT blows. The factored SPT blows were then used to calculate ultimate bearing capacity in kPa at each depth using the modified Meyerhof formula.
