Typical physical parameters of soft silty clay at Zhoushan.

Physical parameters						Consistency				Soil classification
		g/cm^3	g/cm^3							Hardness	Classification
35.98	2.72	1.88	1.38	100.0	0.97	37.68	21.95	15.73	0.89	Soft plastic	Soft silty clay

Note: denotes moisture content, denotes specific density, denotes natural density, denotes dry density, denotes saturation, denotes void ratio, denotes liquid limit, denotes plastic limit, denotes plasticity index, and denotes liquidity index. All the parameters were obtained from rigorous tests provided by China standard for soil test method (GB/T 50123-1999). The soil classification was classified according to the code for the design of building foundation (GB 50007-2011).
