Comment on 'Statistical correlations of shear wave velocity and penetration resistance for soils'

摘要

A discussion is presented on a study that introduces statistical correlations between shear wave velocity (Vs) and Standard Penetration Test N (SPT-N) values. Selected key information on in situ methods that provide the best available options to obtain correlations between Vs and SPT-N is summarized with the limitations of other in situ methods. Effects of in situ tests used in the study and methodology for compilation and assessment of Vs/SPT-N data pairs are evaluated and possible uncertainties inherent in the presented correlation due to approximations and missing details are emphasized.
