The maximum, minimum, and standard deviation in energy transfer for each SPT sample over the
SPT N value increment are included in Appendix B.
4 Summary table of results
A summary of results for the each hammer with three valid test samples of the energy
measurements with reported SPT N values and the SPT N value corrected for 60% transferred energy
(NGO) are presented in Table 2, Appendix E. The N50 value was calculated using the Schmertman
correction as follows:
N50
Where: em
= (em/ 60) Nm
= the measured transferred energy ratio
(based upon measured energy/ theoretical energy of 0.475kNm)
= the measured SPT N value.
In accordance with Idriss and Boulanger5, the correction factors presented in Appendix E may also be
applied to calculate N50.
