2024-01-30T11:19:34Z urn:hdl:10259/8518 Correlation of p-wave velocity and SPT-N on volcanic soils in Costa Rica Ibáñez García, Sergio Ortiz Palacio, Santiago López Ausín, Víctor Porres Benito, José Ángel Trabajo presentado para el congreso Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterisation 5 de 2016 The prediction of the Standard Penetration Test (SPT-N) blow count using p-wave velocities (Vp) has been barely studied. Traditionally, the field s-wave velocities (Vs) have been the aim of the most of the efforts to correlate seismic behavior and penetration resistance properties of soils. Nevertheless, this new approach will expand the correlation to the field of primary waves. The potential use of this correlation will be useful in the search for new easy, non-invasive and non-expensive methods to probe soil properties in underdeveloped and developing countries, in which deep-boring machinery is hard to find or too expensive to use. After a large soil testing program in Costa Rica, in volcanic soils, p-waves were used to develop a correlation between p-wave velocity and NSPT in the investigated soils. 2024-01-30T11:19:34Z 2024-01-30T11:19:34Z 2016 info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart 978-0-9946261-1-0 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/8518 eng Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterisation, V. 1, p. 323-327 https://www.issmge.org/publications/publication/correlation-of-p-wave-velocity-and-spt-n-on-volcanic-soils-in-costa-rica info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Australian Geomechanics Society
