THE STATISTICS AND ANALYSIS BASED ON NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT OF MARINE SILT SOILTAKING HULUSHAN BAY AT CHANGXING ISLAND IN DALIAN AS AN EXAMPLE

Based on the statistical analysis of test values for the marine silt soil in the Hulushan bay at Changxing island, Dalian, the eigenvalues for all test indices were determined for this soil. By analyzing the depth-average values of the natural moisture content, 19 kinds of empirical relationships between the natural moisture content and test indices, were then established. This study revealed a regular relationship between the engineering properties indices and natural moisture content, and provided a theoretical basis for analysis and evaluation on engineering properties indices in this area.
