Geotechnical Info Search The modulus of elasticity or Young's modulus of a soil is an elastic Capacity
soil parameter most commonly used in the estimation of Cold Weather
settlement from static loads. Engineering

OPEN Young's soil modulus, Es, may be estimated from empirical Dams
UPTEN correlations, laboratory test results on undisturbed specimens and Earthquake
results of field tests. Laboratory tests
