Correlation between CPT and SPT in Adapazari, Turkey

Abstract

In literature, it is known that there are different correlations between Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Generally, these investigations have been done in homogeneous soils or similar homogeneous soils. The soils which are in Adapazarı City, Turkey have a heterogeneous structure in the vertical and horizontal directions. In this study, it has shown that the correlations between SPT and CPT gave lower ratios than literature values.
