subsurface conditions. Since the shear wave velocity can be measured both in the field and
in the laboratory, there is continuous interest in using shear wave velocity to define the
stress state of the soil. This study aimed to develop a geophysics-based approach to
predicting the triaxial behavior of cohesive soils. Laboratory tests with bender elements were
performed for silt-predominant samples from the state of Kentucky. A function to relate mean …
