The research presented here is concerned with the reliability of the flat dilatometer as a simple and expedient indexing tool in the stratification and evaluation of the main geotechnical properties of the soils of the Venetian lagoon. To this purpose, the results of an exhaustive geotechnical investigation carried out at the port of Malamocco in the Venetian Lagoon are used to compare the dilatometer-based approximate parameters with those directly measured on the soil with various types of laboratory and in-situ tests. The ultimate goal is to verify the applicability of the most accepted empirical correlations to characterize certain relevant soil design parameters on this specific site.

Abstract
The research presented here is concerned with the reliability of the flat dilatometer as a simple and expedient indexing tool in the stratification and evaluation of the main geotechnical properties of the soils of the Venetian lagoon. To this purpose, the results of an exhaustive geotechnical investigation carried out at the port of Malamocco in the Venetian Lagoon are used to compare the dilatometer-based approximate parameters with those directly measured on the soil with various types of laboratory and in-situ tests. The ultimate goal is to verify the applicability of the most accepted empirical correlations to characterize certain relevant soil design parameters on this specific site.
