Main Article Content
The increasing demands placed on geotechnics require the development of interpretation methods to obtain as many geotechnical parameters as possible from a single test profile. Extensive databases of documented test points were used to construct and develop a direct correlation between the measured pressures p0 and p1 from the dilatometer tests (DMT) and the laboratory results of grain size distribution tests of cohesionless soils from the analysed boreholes, as well as the pore water pressure (u0). Furthermore, the analysis considered pore water pressure (u0). The primary achievement of this paper is the development of an original correlation that enables the direct estimation of the equivalent diameter (D50) of cohesionless soils based on DMT results. Furthermore, the D50 values calculated from the proposed relationship were validated using laboratory test results from soils from other sites not included in the analysis during the development of the proposed empirical relationship.
