A silty sand of density index (ID or Dr) = 59% was subjected to standard penetration tests at a depth of 3 m. Groundwater level occurred at a depth of 1.5 m below the surface of the soil which was saturated throughout and had a unit weight of 19.3 kN/m3. The average N count was 15.   During calibration of the test equipment, the energy applied to the top of the driving rods was measured as 350 Joules. Determine the (N1)60 value for the soil.
