|

|
|
Abstract The soil classification is very important in geotechnical engineering；and the flat dilatometer test(DMT) is a very useful in-situ test. Based on 17 600 measured data of 157 flat dilatometer tests in Shanghai，the ranges of ID for different kinds of soils are analyzed and summarized for the clay，silt and silty sand；and the basis for soil classification with material index ID is provided. At the same time，the influences of over-consolidation are discussed.
