Correlation of Standard Penetration Test Results with Vibracore Sampler Penetration Rates

Source

A correlation between the penetration rates of a vibratory underwater sampling device and blow counts from the conventional standard penetration test and the continuous-drive cone penetration test is described. Although limited test data are available, the correlation shows promise for low blow count underwater soil deposits. A practical example of the correlation is given for a recent construction project in one of the Great Lakes. The need for more data and future research to obtain a more universal correlation are discussed.
