VERIFICATION OF ELECTRONIC SPT HAMMER ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY
Kurtis Miller, Dwayne Tannant, Murray Innes, Scott Hughes, Chris Daniel
In the proceedings of: GeoNiagara 2021: 74th Canadian Geotechnical Conference; 14th joint with IAH-CNCABSTRACT: Automatic Standard Penetration Test (SPT) hammers have become popular, especially in North America, because they make the field data more reliable and standardized. Recently, some hammers have become available that also automatically measure drop height and impact velocity, providing further quality control for SPT data. The purpose of this paper is to verify the automatic measurements of one of these commercial "electronic" SPT hammers.
RÉSUMÉ: Les marteaux de pénétromètres automatiques et dynamiques (SPT Standard Penetration Test) sont devenus populaires, en particulier en Amérique du Nord, car ils rendent les données de terrain plus fiables et standardisées. Récemment, certains marteaux sont devenus disponibles qui mesurent également automatiquement la hauteur de chute et la vitesse d'impact et offrant un contrôle de qualité supplémentaire pour les données SPT. Le but de cet article est de vérifier les mesures automatiques d'un de ces marteaux SPT qui est à usage commercial.
