What is e-SPT?

e-SPT likely refers to 'electronic Standard Penetration Test'. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is a common in-situ geotechnical testing method used to determine the properties of subsurface soils. The 'e-' prefix suggests the use of electronic instrumentation for data acquisition and measurement during the SPT. This enhances accuracy, allows for real-time data logging, and facilitates automated data processing and reporting, improving the efficiency and reliability of the testing process. It is commonly used in site investigation for foundation design, settlement analysis, and liquefaction assessment.
