Following is the variation of the field standard penetration number (N) in a sand deposit: Liao and Whitman's relationship (1986): Depth (m) 1 Cy= 1.5 6. (3.13) 8 4.5 9 6 8 7.9 13 9 14 The groundwater table is located at a depth of 6 m. Given: the dry unit weight of sand from 0 to a depth of 6 m is 18 kN/m, and the saturated unit weight of sand for depth 6 to 12 m is 20.2 kN/m³. Use the relationship given in Eq. (3.13) to calculate the corrected penetration numbers.
