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. eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Correlation of p-wave velocity and SPT-N on volcanic soils in Costa Rica info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart
