Shear wave velocity characteristics of Nelson-Tasman regional deposits

Shear wave velocity characteristics of Nelson-Tasman regional deposits

ABSTRACT This paper presents proposed shear wave velocity-depth relationships for six prominent geological formations from the Nelson-Tasman area. Shear wave velocity profiles were developed for a selection of sites across the Nelson-Tasman Region using a combination of active source and passive source surface wave testing…

Applicability of empirical SPT-CPT correlations for New Zealand soils

Applicability of empirical SPT-CPT correlations for New Zealand soils

  ABSTRACT Using a database of 230 co-located cone penetration tests (CPT) and boreholes with standard penetration tests (SPT) from sites across Christchurch, New Zealand, this paper assesses the applicability of a range of existing SPT-CPT correlations from international studies. Both simple linear CPT-SPT relationships…
