The large-area hydraulic sand ground abroad was usually improved by the dynamic compaction method，and its detection was based on the static cone penetration test（CPT）or the standard penetration test（SPT）. Chinese relevant standards generally directly give the cone tip resistance qc value or the standard penetration number N value as acceptance index，while the acceptance criteria of overseas ground improvement projects is different. The design and acceptance ideas of compaction methods for ground improvement at home and abroad were compared，and the relationships between the in-situ test indicators（qc and N）and the relative compactness of the soil were summarized. Taking overseas projects as examples，the idea and process of acceptance criteria for non-cohesive ground improvement were proposed，and the acceptance curve for dense ground based on qc and N was established. It can provide a reference for the inspection and acceptance of ground improvement of overseas water transportation projects.
