= 0.00125 m2
2) For termination of pile with N = 300, and Energy level of stratum= 64 x 300 / 50 =
384 T-m/m2
Penetration, p = 2 x 3.142 x 10 x 16 x 10 / (0.2827 x 384) = 92.6 cm/ 10 Minutes.
The hard rock may be deemed to have encountered if the observed
penetration rate is less than 9 cm / min for 600mm dia pile and AF-180 Rig
and the pile may be terminated in such strata.
Thus, using the above relation, SPT may be correlated to penetration rates of different
machines for different diameter of piles as shown in the Table below.
