ALHUAY-LEON, Cristhian Gerardo  and  TREJO-NORENA, Pablo Cesar. The empirical correlation between shear wave velocity and penetration resistance for the eolian sand deposits in the city of Olmos-Peru. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2021, vol.88, n.217, pp.247-255.  Epub Nov 23, 2021. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v88n217.93317.

Shear wave velocities (Vs) and the number of blows of SPT (N) are parameters that are generally recorded in a geotechnical exploration campaign, in the literature there are several publications on the empirical correlations between N y Vs in different types of soil, the first studies being attributed to Japanese researchers in the 60s and 70s. North Peruvian pipeline was built on a recent quaternary eolian deposit, so a research area in Olmos near to the structure was used for tests. In the geotechnical research campaign were carried out in an arrangement multi-channel and standard penetration test in order to obtain Vs and N respectively. The correlations in this publication are for eolian sand deposits that can potentially be used in other regions with similar characteristics. The correlations presented are; N₆₀ - Vs considering and incorporating into the model the influence of the effective overload.

Keywords : shear wave velocity; standard penetration test; eolian sand.
