Application of flat Dilatometer Test in littoral deposit soft soil

The law of dilatometer test parameters is got from the in-situ test of flat Dilatometer Miriam (DMT) at the estuario of Yangtze River soft soil in coastal sediments. DMT results agree with Static Cone Penetration Test,and DMT can get the lateral coefficient of subgrade reaction KH quickly for the design of pile foundation and provide reliable data. Contrast with pressuremeter test,DMT test value is often larger. In clay layer,silty clay including clayey silt,muddy silty clay,clayey silt and mudd...
