DISTRIBUTION OF THE SHALLOW SANDY SOIL AND SILTY SOIL OF CHONGMING ISLAND, SHANGHAI

Through detailed analysis of data obtained from engineering geological explorations at Chongming Island, this paper characterizes the distribution of both the shallow sandy and the silty soils present in the area. The authors then classify each soil according to its lithology and penetration resistance, and present several typical penetration curves. At the end, this paper discusses the liquefaction characteristic of each soil.
