Correlation betw. Drained and Undrained Parameters

[ONENGINEER]

The underained properties of soil can be estimated in the field with thumb, Torvane and PPT.

Is there a correlation between the Cu and C' values. Thank you.

 

[GeoPaveTraffic]

No.

There are some correlations between index properties such as Atterburg limits and drained strength in some materials.

cu-c' correlation only by fantasy

 

[paganel]

No correlatons.

 

[fattdad]

The ratio c'/cu approaches unity as permeability increases.

For normally consolidated soils, phi-cu may be roughly approximated as 1/2 of phi'
