Background
• Plaxis Program

• Input Soil Parameters

– Unit Weight (γ)
– Cohesion (C)
– Friction Angel ( )
STIFFNESS / Young Modulus(E50)

Why Stiffness of Soil (E) ?

• To get E value, one must do :
– Pressuremeter Test
– Oedometer Test
– Triaxial Test

At first take E value from Bowles Book

or other correlation

How Does It Work ?

• Next Step - E value will be Correlated with
N SPT Value
N-SPT V l

• In Indonesia Every Project must have N-

SPT Data
• Easy to find this Data

Conclusion
• Correlation of E50 and N1(60) are :

Clayey Soil Sandy Soil

E50 (Mpa)= 4 N1(60) E50 (Mpa)= 7.5 N1(60)

E50 (Mpa)= 1.3 N1(60) E50 (Mpa)= 2 N1(60)
