The identification of soft organic clays by cone penetration tests is normally handled indirectly, using soil behavioral classification charts, since soil samples are not normally collected during the soundings. An alternate method is shown to be more reliable using three expressions for effective yield stress that depend on net cone resistance, excess porewater pressure, and effective cone resistance. Once identified as organic soils, a generalized procedure for assessing yield stress using a power law expression with net cone resistance is presented and applied to case studies from the USA, Sweden, and Brazil.
