In addition, the standard penetration test for conventional ground investigation hits the top (anvil) of the rod connected to the split spoon sampler by freely dropping 63.5 kg metal hammer at a height of 75 cm. In-situ test that intrudes the sampler into the ground, measures the penetration and the number of hits of the sampler, and collects the disturbance sample (based on KS F 2307) .The number of hammer strikes required for the 30 cm penetration of the sampler is called N value. Using the N value, the hardness of the strata can be evaluated or various ground constants can be empirically calculated.

In addition, in North and South America, about 85 to 90% of the general basic design is carried out based on the standard penetration test (Bowles, 1988). In Japan and Korea, most geotechnical designs result from this test. It depends on the situation. In principle, such a test is limited to sandy soil, but in Korea, this test is also used in various kinds of soils.
