The test type of soil property: m was acquired by the calcination method controlling 65°C of temperature, Gs acquired by the pycnometer method, acquired by the drying method, ρd acquired by the ring knife method, ρdmin acquired by the measuring cylinder method, ρdmax acquired by the hammering method, c and φ acquired by the triaxial compression test. Dr was derived from ρd, ρdmin, and ρdmax; υ was derived from φ with their relationships to the static lateral pressure coefficient.
