Soil elastic Young's modulus

Soil Young's modulus (E), commonly reffred to as soil elastic modulus, is an elastic soil parameter and

settement and elastic deformation analysis.

Soil elastic modulus can be estimated from laboratory or in-situ tests or based on correlation with other
soil properties. In laboratory, it can be determined from triaxial test or indirectly from oedometer test. On
field, it can be estimated from Standard penetration test, Cone penetration test , pressuremeter or
indirectly from dilatometer test.

In general, the soil stiffness and elastic modulus depends on the consistensy and packing (density) of
the soil. Typical values of soil Young's modulus are given below as guideline.
