SAFE BEARING CAPACITY FROM DCPT

From Graph 1
: DCPT value for 300 mm penetration = 70 Blows
SPT Value = 1.5 x DCPT value for 300 mm penetration
SPT Value = 105
Empitical Relation between SPT and Safe Bearing Capcity =10*SPT
Safe Bearing Cpacity obtained from Graph -1 = 1050 Kpa
From Graph 2 :
DCPT value for 300 mm penetration = 120 Blows
SPT Value = 1.5 x DCPT value for 300 mm penetration
SPT Value = 180
Empitical Relation between SPT and Safe Bearing Capcity =10*SPT
Safe Bearing Cpacity obtained from Graph -1 = 1800 Kpa
From Graph 3:
DCPT value for 300 mm penetration = 50 Blows
SPT Value = 1.5 x DCPT value for 300 mm penetration
SPT Value = 75
Empitical Relation between SPT and Safe Bearing Capcity =10*SPT
Safe Bearing Cpacity obtained from Graph -1 = 750 Kpa
Hence Safe Beaing Cpacity will be in range of 705 Kpa to 1800 Kpa
Please Provide detail of safe bearing cpacity calculation
