The bearing capacity of cohesionless soils can be determined most economically by conduction in-situdynamic and static penetration tests. The most commonly used test in=alaysia is 7 probe test. This is a light dynamic test. The cone is driveninto the soil by a 4 kg hammer falling freely from a height of 28/ mm. thenumbers of blow re%uired for every //mm penetration of cone are noted andfrom which the allowable bearing is estimated using empirical relationship
between number of blows and allowable bearing capacity. The test is stoppedwhen the number of blows re%uired for //mm penetrations reach // blows.The 7 probe can be used up to 12./ m depth.
