Popis:	This paper presents statistical correlations between the static Young modulus Es and the normalized SPT penetration resistance N60 (corresponding to 60% of the theoretical energy of the SPT test) for preliminary estimation of settlements in sedimentary sands. The correlations have been established through the statistical interpretation of many experimental studies available in the literature, based on power regression analyses. Equations and charts are presented to estimate the mean value Es and related statistical limits of Es as a function of N60. The obtained correlations have been used to compare the calculated settlements of a rigid raft bearing on a multi-layered sand deposit (comprising distinct relative densities) with the measured settlements in eight points underneath the raft.
