Cone penetration tests are a good option for in situ tests in case of soft, fine‐grained soils. Thus, they are often used for subsoil investigations in the Salzburger Becken, which mainly consists of silty, fine‐sandy sediments. Unfortunately, empirical correlations for the determination of soil parameters from cone penetration tests in case of silty, fine‐sandy soils are very rare in literature. This contribution should help to evaluate the known correlations and correlation factors for the determination of soil stiffness based on cone penetration tests regarding their applicability for the Salzburger Seeton. This is done by the comparison of cone penetration test results with results from laboratory tests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
