Answers
Answer:

The corrected N value is 25.2 according to IS:2131-1981.
To find,
The corrected N value as per IS:2131-1981.
Given,
The field N value in a deposit of fully submerged fine sand was 40 at a depth of 6 m.
Solution,
The corrected N value can be calculated using the formula:
Nc = Nq * (C1 * C2 * C3)
where,
Nq = measured N value = 40
C1 = correction factor for overburden pressure = 1
C2 = correction factor for the shape of the penetrometer tip = 1
C3 = correction factor for the type of soil = 0.65 (for fine sand)
Therefore,
Nc = 40 * (1 * 1 * 0.65) = 26
The corrected N value is 26.
The corrected N value, Nc, can be calculated using the following formula:
Nc = Nq * C1 * C2 * C3
where Nq is the measured N value, and C1, C2, and C3 are correction factors based on the type of soil and testing conditions.
For fully submerged fine sand, the correction factors are:
C1 = 1.0 (no correction for overburden pressure)
C2 = 1.0 (no correction for soil density)
C3 = 0.63 (correction factor for fully submerged sand)
Plugging in the values, we get:
Nc = 40 * 1.0 * 1.0 * 0.63
Nc = 25.2
Therefore, the corrected N value is 25.2 according to IS:2131-1981.
