The analysis of some cohesive soils engineering characteristics in Croatia

The necessary geotechnical properties of the soil are defined by implementation of the field and laboratory research works. In the case of insufficient relevant data for the individual soil layer, these can be estimated using the appropriate correlations. The results of the previous research indicate a significant dependence between the granulometric composition of the soil, the Atterberg limits of liquid and plasticity, and the shear strength and deformability in the fine grained soils. From more than 50 locations in the Republic of Croatia, undisturbed soil samples were taken, with 230 laboratory tests performed. A total amount of ca. 1100 relevant data were obtained The mentioned data were analyzed by the implementation of standard statistical methods, in order to represent the correlations between the measured values of individual geotechnical parameters. The paper presents the results of the mentioned analyses and compares the obtained results with correlation relations of various authors from the available literature.
