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.Developments in Geotechnical Engineering,2364-5156Engineering geologyEngineering—GeologyFoundationsHydraulicsGeotechnical engineeringBuilding—SuperintendenceConstruction industry—ManagementConstruction superintendenceGeoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23020Geotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010Construction Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23039Engineering geology.Engineering—Geology.Foundations.Hydraulics.Geotechnical engineering.Building—Superintendence.Construction industry—Management.Construction superintendence.Geoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulics.Geotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.Construction Management.624.151Ameratunga Jayauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut788055Sivakugan Nagaratnamauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDas Braja Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254199203321Correlations of Soil and Rock Properties in Geotechnical Engineering2515396UNINA
