index combining relative density and mean effective stress that predicts the extra friction and dilation angle of sands.

In geotechnical engineering, relative dilatancy index refers to index combining relative density and mean effective stress that predicts the extra friction and dilation angle of sands. This meaning comes from Bolton (1986) in Géotechnique.[1]
