In this study, a series of piezocone and dilatometer tests are performed on a cemented specimen prepared in a large calibration chamber in order to investigate how the cementation effect is reflected in the cone tip resistance (qc) and the DMT indices (MD, KD). Although the qc value and DMT indices increase with the cementation level, ED is found to be more sensitive to the cementation than KD and qc. It is observed that the cementation of sand appears to have a more significant effect on the behavior of cemented sand at a lower stress level and its effect diminishes with an increasing stress level. It is also shown that the ED/qc ratio of cemented sand is always higher than that of uncemented sand at the same qc, while the difference in the ED/qc ratio between cemented and uncemented sands decreases with an increase in qc. The ED/qc−qc relation suggested in this study can be used to verify that the soil sediment is cemented.
