Abstract:Correlations were established between the Texas Highway Department Cone Penetrometer Test and the unconsolidated-undrained shear strength for cohesive soils. Both field and laboratory investigations were conducted to obtain the data necessary to establish the correlations. The field investigations included seven borings taken at four different sites where the Cone Penetrometer Test was conducted and undisturbed soil samples were obtained. The Texas Triaxial Test and the ASTM Triaxial Texas were used in the laboratory investigation to obtain soil shear strength. Soils were classified and grouped by the Unified Soil Classification System.
