Schmertman illustrated that the N value is the combine result of the dynamic end bearing
and side resistance and this is a function of the soil type. He introduced three ratios for
SPT-T test in which the spoon is supplemented with a device that is used in the torque
measurement. This helps in direct measurement of the static side friction between the
sides of the spoon and the walls.
Measurement of the soil variability. That for perfectly uniform soil the ratio of N1 to N2
will be equal to 1.0. the engineer can use this this ratio to estimate the variability of the
soil variability.
Separating side resistance from end bearing resistance
