Correlations of Soil and Rock Properties in Geotechnical Engineering (2016)
This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations
used extensively in geotechnical engineering. Empirical correlations
play a key role in geotechnical engineering designs and analysis.
Laboratory and in situ testing of soils can add significant cost to a
civil engineering project. By using appropriate empirical correlations,
it is possible to derive many design parameters, thus limiting our
reliance on these soil tests. The authors have decades of experience in
geotechnical engineering, as professional engineers or researchers. The
objective of this book is to present a critical evaluation of a wide
range of empirical correlations reported in the literature, along with
typical values of soil parameters, in the light of their experience and
knowledge. This book will be a one-stop-shop for the practising
professionals, geotechnical researchers and academics looking for
specific correlations for estimating certain geotechnical parameters.
The empirical correlations in the forms of equations and charts and
typical values are collated from extensive literature review, and from
the authors' database. DOWNLOAD

Soil Properties and their Correlations, Second Edition
provides a summary of commonly-used soil engineering properties and
gives a wide range of correlations between the various properties,
presented in the context of how they will be used in geotechnical
design.
The book is divided into 11 chapters: Commonly-measured
properties; Grading and plasticity; Density; Permeability, Consolidation
and settlement; Shear strength; California bearing ratio; Shrinkage and
swelling characteristics; Frost susceptibility; Susceptibility to
combustion; and Soil-structure interfaces. In addition, there are two
appendices: Soil classification systems; and Sampling methods.
This
new, more comprehensive, edition provides material that would be of
practical assistance to those faced with the problem of having to
estimate soil behaviour from little or no laboratory test data. DOWNLOAD
The modelling tools for soils and rocks require more and more specific parameters not always available from the standard or usual survey campaigns, this generally for reasons of delay or costs. The use of correlations to solve the gap between available parameters and the required ones is a common practice. Many of them exist but are spread throughout numerous papers or books. The aim of this formulary is to provide a large synthesis of the existing correlations accumulated by the authors during more than 40 years academic and consulting careers. DOWNLOAD
