Many researchers proposed correlations between cone penetration resistance (qc) and shear wave velocity (Vs). The researchers used the datasets they obtained by performing laboratory or field tests while developing their correlations. The qc measurements were made with CPT test and Vs measurements were made with in-situ tests (SCPT, DHT, CHT). The proposed correlations were very different from each other. The existing correlations between qc and Vs are given in two ways: The soil type-dependent correlations and different correlations for different soil types. The soil type-dependent correlations were limited and also there is no change depending on fines content . Therefore, it would be useful to determine a correlation based on soil type with soils with different fines content. In this study, CPT and SCPT tests were performed in the getechnical laboratory of IZTECH to investigate the influence of soil type on qc-Vs correlation. Tests were performed on clean sand and sand - non-plastic silt mixtures having 5%, 15%, and 35% fines content at different relative densities inside the soil box. CPT profiles and Vs values were obtained to develop a relationship between Vs, and qc based on soil type index (Ic). The Ic values were found using CPT-based approaches found in the literature. A new soil type-dependent correlation to predict the Vs of soils from qc is presented in this study. The new equation was compared with existing correlations. The equation is useful to estimate Vs from CPT measurements for all soil types with different fines content.
