Correlation of Soil Properties with SPT
Correlation of Soil Properties with SPT
(OP)
I have many books that contain some correlations of soil properties with each other or SPT. But they are not enough. I always use tens of books for a project.
Do you know any book that contains most correlations?
Don't say Burt Look.

Sorry to ask, but do you have the PDF file? My university access does not cover this and I couldn't find any resource other than paid one. If you don't have PDF, I will delete my post.

I view "correcting" SPT figures as wishful thinking, since many older texts and charts worked well knowing the inefficiency of the method. Why take "corrected" values to an old table based on actual field numbers? It's a crude test and fooling with it can only confuse folks.

Oldestguy, I KNOW the topics about correcting SPT. I always check for the formulation's SPT Energy Value etc. As you can see, that was not my question.
Others, thank you. I used some different resources.

What I wanted to tell was, for example, if someone asks me clay's bearing capacity, I will them c*Nc, that's all. If he needs further explanations, I will continue with relation of bearing capacity and slope stability analysis, Vesic etc.
I wrote a lot of explanations, but I deleted to be not disrespectful again.

On the question, it is my general feeling that some of those older tables and charts are based more upon professional opinions rather than actual tests out in the field, but they seem to work. I think the work of Hough admittedly is so since he used the words "Presumptive Allowable Bearing Capacity" and made reference to building codes.
