520			_aThis dissertation focuses on the investigation of clayey soils of Cyprus to derive a statistical model describing degree of plasticity and to determine correlations between soil properties as well as the geological formations. Physical properties data from 211 different soils from the geotechnical literature of Cyprus within highly plastic range have been utilized to create a model to predict the degree of plasticity of soils by using mainly factor and regression analyses. Collected soil properties were integrated into the study, which include liquid and plastic limits, clay fraction, montmorillonite and calcium carbonate contents. Based on these properties a comprehensive statistical study was conducted by utilizing different statistical concepts. These are the measures of central tendency, variability, position, and distribution shapes. Frequency distribution of the soils was also examined. Various findings were noted, and discussions have been made based on this investigation. Some of these properties have an increasing influence on soil plasticity while others have an indirect effect. The differences in plasticity characteristics of clayey soils were identified and discussed by using factor analysis. The statistical model was created to predict the degree of plasticity simply by using plasticity index which is constituted of a single expression with six ranges of the degree of plasticity for easy and broader application. The relationships between the soil properties were studied and empirical equations were proposed. Similarities and differences of clayey soils of Cyprus were discussed and geological formations of the investigated soils were characterized.
