Abstract

Theoretical curves for different values of HT =0.4 ht , 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 are superimposed on the graph and can be seen to encapsulate the data. Yet, even without these separate curves, Wroth ([14]) noted that the parameter HT S ht would track well with I ' i alone according to CSSM, and recommended the approximation HT S=su voNC'(TC)= '100 ht (5) Graph: Fig. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

This paper concerns a study of the influence of fines on the resistance to liquefaction of a clayey sand. The study is carried out using a triaxial apparatus on a reconstituted sand-clay mixture containing a low fraction of clay. After a description of the soil used in this study, the paper presents results of undrained compression tests together with cyclic liquefaction tests performed on soil samples containing different fractions of clay. Experimental results show that the increase in the fines content up to 15% reduces the resistance to liquefaction of the sand-clay mixture. This result is due to the role of fines in reducing the dilatant tendency of the clayey sand used in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
