cpt & spt correlations to soil parameters
cpt & spt correlations to soil parameters
(OP)
Hi everybody, I'm looking for some correlations between spt or cpt test results and soil parameters, such as friction angle, shear strenght, density, elastic moduli, etc.
Is there some good reference, expecially on the web ?
Thanks
Ale.

There are a lot of formulae for phi and 125N works OK for clay shear.

Ask your geotech to provide the interpretation/numbers you need rather than stick your own neck out far enough to get it chopped off...

Outside of general correlations, check with your Geotech as Jeff noted....they can give you more relevant data.

Paul Mayne's website has lots of reference papers that will help you in determining which approach might be best.
