Abstract:This study aims to assess the accuracy and consistency of existing correlations between undrained shear strength (cu) and modulus of volumetric compressibility (mv) with SPT N value, and compression index (Cc) with index parameters for Turkish clays, with a specific focus on Ankara clay using laboratory testing of over 2500 high-quality undisturbed samples from 42 sites. A comparison of correlations for cu using five different statistical variables indicates that no single method stands out as superior in term… Show more
