Abstract

Nowadays geotechnical studies including in situ and laboratory tests are the most crucial steps in design of structures. The appearance of structural damages with the origin of subsoil such as differential settlements, cracks, liquefaction, uplift, soil rupture, sliding and lateral spreading, made the geotechnical studies one of the most important steps in structural designing of any structure. In other hand, in most cases, these tests are expensive and time consuming, both of which are undesirable for owners. To overcome this shortcoming, researches developed empirical expression for extracting soil parameters from some basic tests. The Imam Khomeini Mosalla of Tehran is one of the most important projects in Iran which has a precious collection of soil experiments. The aim of this research is to validate these imperial expressions with available data in insitu test include standard penetration test (SPT), direct shear test and laboratory tests include soil classification, Direct shear Test and triaxial test, and making the necessary modification for specific soils if it’s needed. Reasonable agreement has been observed between proposed equations, plots and tables and the body of literature.
