GRAPH ANALYSIS
DISCUSSION
Based on consistency, the bearing capacity—the strength of the soil and soil profile—is what
this discussion is trying to determine. Correlating the measured number of blows with
empirical formulas or charts gets the bearing capacity. It is demonstrated that the bearing
capacities of the various soil layers vary. The foundation design will be influenced by the
varying strengths of each soil layer, which can be categorized.
From the table we can that the data for depth 9.0 -1.2 has a bearing 80 -280 kN/m². It is
because that the particular layers of soil are medium dense soil which can be deformed with
moderate hand pressure but resists light tools. This soil will hold its shape when squeezed
and requires more blowis during the test.At a certain depth the number of the blows might
increase when it touch the rock and compacted soil.
This data can tell that the layer of that soil is loose soil which can be deformed easily by hand
pressure. This type of can be penetrated by JKR PROBE with low number of blows and most
likely to have weaker strength in handling weight.
CONCLUSION
The JKR Probe test, which is limited to 15 meters and requires the number of blows per
meter to be recorded, can be used to assess the thickness of inappropriate material that
needs to be removed as well as for the preliminary design of embankments. The results can
be compared with a chart that has been produced to estimate the soil's carrying capacity.
The 60° cone penetrometer from JKR Probes is a light dynamic test in which a hammer is
used to drive the cone straight into the ground. Because it lacks the strength to penetrate the
medium, the probe cannot go through gravelly ground or medium-high soil.
