N2  - The  correlations  between  geotechnical  and  geophysical  parameters,  in  particular correlations between elastic constants calculated from pressuremeter and downhole seismic test were evaluated for a site in HCMC, Vietnam. The  geotechnical  data  collected  from  study  site  included  field  test  and  laboratory test  data.  The  field  test  data  consist  of  pressuremeter  test  (PMT)  data,  downhole  seismic test  (DST)  data  and  SPT  value  (N),  the  laboratory  test  data  consist  of  grain  size,  water content,  liquid  limit,  plastic  limit,  void  ratio.  Soil  characterization  at  the  study  site  was done based on laboratory test data. The  results  of  analysis  of  DST  data  (VS  and  VP)  were  used  to  calculate  elastic constants  such  as  Young{u2019}s  modulus  (ESeis),  Shear  modulus  (G),  Bulk  modulus  (K), Poisson{u2019}s  ratio,  Lame{u2019}s  constant  (L).  The  VS,  ESeis  and  G  values  were  correlated  with corrected N values. Similarly, Values of Young{u2019}s modulus (EPMT) and shear strength (S) obtained from analysis of PMT data were also correlated with corrected N values. Efforts have been spent to  analyze  pressuremeter  test  data,  especially  to  predict  the  limit  pressure  (PL),  based  on which the soil strength can be calculated as S = 0.67PL*0.75. For  the  medium  dense  sand  layer,  it  was  found  out  that  Young{u2019}s  modulus  (EPMT) calculated from pressuremeter test is about 4.3 times of Young{u2019}s modulus (ESeis) calculated from downhole seismic test as presented by equation EPMT = 0.23ESeis
