Abstract
This paper presents a statistical study on the correlations between standard penetration test (SPT) blow count N-value and pressuremeter (PMT) parameters: the pressuremeter modulus (EPMT) and limit pressure (PL) for glacial tills in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This study is based on a comprehensive geotechnical investigation program for a light rail transit project in the City of Toronto. Based on this statistical analysis, two linear relationships between uncorrected SPT-N value and PMT parameters (EPMT and PL) are proposed for glacial tills in the GTA.
