Abstract
New chart for identification organic soils from dilatometer tests (DMT). To identify the type of soils in ground profile from the dilatometer (DMT) tests the diagram charts are common used. Marchetti (1980), Marchetti and Crapps (1981) proposed the diagram chart based on the material index ID and the dilatometer modulus ED. This chart is helpful for identifying both mineral soils (clay, silt and sand) and organic soils. However, the classification part to identify organic soil is not adequate. This paper contains a proposal of a new classification chart for organic soil identification. The proposed chart was developed based on the comprehensive investigation of organic sediments performed in the Department of Geotechnical Engineering of Warsaw University of Life Sciences in years 1980 -2012.
