SYNOPSIS: A concept fr the calulon of setlementsin granular il is presented, based on cone penetration tests with friction sleeve measurements
The tangent modulus is determined from a normalised cone resistance, which is corrected forthe effect of the mean effective stres. The normalised
cone penetration value reflects the infuence of the relative denty and thus the compreasbity of the soil. An empiical corelation is proposed to
