This study aims at establishing empirical correlations for the soil deposits in Taipei City. These correlations are valuable in the planning and preliminary design stages. For cohesive soils, correlations between (1) virgin compression index and nautral water content, (2) virgin compression index and initial void ratio, (3) coefficient of consolidation and liquid limit, and (4) angle of shearing resistance and plasticity index are proposed. Profiles of overcons‐olidation ratio (OCR) as well as strength ratio are presented. Relationships between the coefficient of earth pressure at rest and the angle of shearing resistance and the plasticity index have also been carefully studied. For cohesionless soils, correlations between (1) permeability and effective particle size, and (2) angle of shearing resistance and standard penetration test (SPT) TV‐value are presented. Due to inherent variations in the Taipei soil deposits, there are practical limitations and the correlations presented in the paper should be used with great care.
