The accuracy of the OCR-Q(t) correlation for Singapore marine clays is examined using site specific data. It is possible to estimate OCR within +/-30% for the lower marine clay layer with more than 90% confidence. To achieve similar accuracy for the upper marine clay layer, additional data such as the in-situ void ratio appears to be necessary.
