Many structures are constructed on and/or under soil. The stability of structures is based on the behavior of foundation soils caused by applied loads. It is very important to determine exactly the geotechnical properties of foundation soils for the rational design or the analysis of soil foundation. But in case of small or minor project, it is more economical and practical to estimate the required geotechnical property from other properties. The relationship of geotechnical properties are often needed.
For this study, the geotechnical properties are collected from geotechnical investigation data of various construction projects in Kyungpook province, Korea. From the regression analysis of collected geotechnical properties, it is proven to have high correlation between properties for sandy soil and cohesive soil respectively. It is also suggested correlation equations between properties for sandy soil and cohesive soil.
