Abstract A comprehensive study was carried out to examine the suitability of hyperbolic model to establish undrained stress-strain (σ-ε) response of cohesive soils of Vijayawada region, India. The majority of locations in this region covered with cohesive soils. Standard penetration test (SPT) is the most commonly used in-situ test conducted as a part of geotechnical investigation in this region. In this paper a simplified hyperbolic model was proposed to evaluate the σ-ε curve in terms of SPT value (N value). The present study aims on predicting undrained shear strength/undrained cohesive strength (Cu) and elastic modulus (E) from N value. Empirical correlations would permit consulting engineers to rapidly estimate Cu and E using N value.
