Abstract
Various CPT-based correlations exist for the unit weight of natural soils. One such correlation includes organic soils Lengkeek et al. (2018). This correlation is presented as a framework where the coefficients can be optimized and is based on predominantly Class 2 CPT records. This publication uses an expanded database which includes additional pairs of predominantly Class 1 CPT records selected from Holocene deposits in the Netherlands, on mineral clays, organic clays and peats. This results in a more extensive database and an improved CPT-based unit weight correlation for the whole range of soil types, which is proposed to replace the existing correlation. In addition, a specific unit weight correlation for peats is presented.
