Why we conduct soil penetration test in soil investigation?
The optimum moisture content of soil actually varies and a standard value for silt, clay, and sand is not strictly mentioned in most of the codes. The values mentioned in the article were based on the general laboratory test values based on Indian Standard Tests and Indian soil conditions. If my knoRead more
The optimum moisture content of soil actually varies and a standard value for silt, clay, and sand is not strictly mentioned in most of the codes. The values mentioned in the article were based on the general laboratory test values based on Indian Standard Tests and Indian soil conditions.
If my knowledge is right, we do mention the average moisture content value within a range.
Thanks for your feedback and query

In Geotechnical engineering, the value of standard penetration test is widely used for determining technical properties of soil.
This test is globally used to determine various engineering and geotechnical properties for soil investigations.
