Soil classification at Muaro Baru beach of Padang City using CPT data

Many semi-empiric correlations have been developed to estimate geotechnical parameters based on Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data for various types of soils. This paper aims classify soil CPT with several and compare the results some these correlations. In this study, field laboratory test were carried out from two closely spaced locations in estuary area Muaro Baru, Padang city. The was used determine type using semi-empirical correlations, namely; friction ratios, Schertmann (1978), Robertson Campanella (1983), et al. (1986), then updated by 2010. Soil Behaviour Type (SBT) is cone resistance (q c ), sleeve s ratio (R f ). Unified Classification System (USCS) also soils sieve analysis. showed that obtained compatibility classification profiles.
