The standard penetration test (SPT), seismic cone penetration test (SCPT), and various in-situ seismic tests are commonly utilized for geotechnical site investigations. The investigated data via these tests are widely adopted to capture site characteristics for geotechnical engineering design. However, site characterizations vary in the above in-situ tests, which leads to uncertainties in the corresponding engineering analysis and design. To address these variabilities, this paper meticulously carried out the above-mentioned geotechnical in-situ tests with rigorous supervision at 13 selected sites in the Taipei Basin, yielding several valuable datasets. The datasets consist of digital investigation data including SPT-N, soil classification, CPT-qc and -fs, and the shear wave velocities (Vs) obtained from different measurements. We believe that these datasets will be beneficial for conducting various calibration studies for different geotechnical investigation methods and the corresponding geotechnical parameters.
