Enhancing the CPT correlation with the small strain shear stiffness of sands

The cone penetration test (CPT) is a valuable geotechnical insitu test. Yet, the CPT correlations with the small strain shear modulus and seismic shear wave velocity still need more research to enhance their accuracy. In this study, the stress normalizations for the net cone tip resistance and the s...
