Shear wave velocities (Vs) and the number of blows of SPT (N) are parameters that are generally recorded in a geotechnical exploration campaign, in the literature there are several publications on the empirical correlations between N y Vs in different types of soil, the first studies being attributed to Japanese researchers in the 60s and 70s. North Peruvian pipeline was built on a recent quaternary eolian deposit, so a research area in Olmos near to the structure was used for tests. In the geotechnical research campaign were carried out in an arrangement multi-channel and standard penetration test in order to obtain Vs and N respectively. The correlations in this publication are for eolian sand deposits that can potentially be used in other regions with similar characteristics. The correlations presented are; N₆₀ - Vs considering and incorporating into the model the influence of the effective overload.

Las velocidades de ondas de corte (Vs) y el número de golpes de SPT (N) son parámetros que generalmente se registran en una campaña de exploración geotécnica, en la literatura existen diversas publicaciones sobre correlaciones empíricas entre N y Vs en distintos tipos de suelo, siendo los primeros estudios atribuido a investigadores japoneses en la década de los 60 y 70. El oleoducto norperuano fue construido sobre un depósito eólico del cuaternario reciente, por lo que se utilizó un área de investigación en Olmos cerca de la estructura para los ensayos. En la campaña de investigaciones geotécnicas se realizaron ensayos de medición de ondas superficiales en arreglo multicanal y ensayos de penetración estándar con la finalidad de obtener Vs y N respectivamente. Las correlaciones en esta publicación son para depósitos de arenas eólicas que pueden ser utilizadas potencialmente en otras regiones de similares características. Se presenta las correlaciones; N₆₀– Vs considerando e incorporando al modelo la influencia de la sobrecarga efectiva.
