Young's modulus (E) estimation
Young's modulus (E) estimation
(OP)
I have few data of unit weight, Angle of internal friction and some grain size distribution.
Is there any empirical relation to find out the Young's Modulus of Elasticity of that soil?
Thank you in advance.

For overconsolidated sands: E=2.8N (MN/m2)
For normally consolidated sands, compacted sands: E=1.4N (MN/m2)
For normally consolidated sands (below groundwater level): E=0.7N (MN/m2)
Check also "Manual on Estimating Soil Properties for Foundation Design" by Kulhawy and Mayne published by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute). Google it, it is available in internet.

I'd also look for the boring logs and try to relate N-values and soil type to modulus.
