CHARACTERIZATION OF LOESS FOR DEEP FOUNDATIONS (2009)

This paper describes the results of a detailed analysis of a loess deposit at the deep foundations test site established by the Kansas Department of Transportation. Multiple CPT, SPT, and pressuremeter tests were conducted as part of the investigation. This paper includes an evaluation of the effectiveness of common correlations used with the CPT, SPT when used for classification of loess and estimating its properties. Results show that common correlations must be used with caution assignificant errors in estimation may result from using methods developed for other soil types.
