ABSTRACT
This paper presents a research developed using samples collected in four (04) different regions in two (02) cities in the São Paulo state for different types of tropical and non-tropical soils through DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetration) testing. The samples were analyzed in the laboratory by means of characterization and molding of test specimens for spindling of the DCP in the laboratory and field to obtain a correlation between these results. In the research, ten penetrations were performed using the DCP and also ten drilled HILF cylinder for the laboratory determination of the CBR (California Bearing Ratio). Seven points were collected in each of the four regions of these two cities. With the analysis of the results, it can be observed that the results obtained in the tests agree with the correlations stipulated by the standard. That is, the equations presented are applicable, considering an acceptable margin of error.
