Experiences from previous earthquake events have indicated that sands containing non-
plastic (silt) or plastic (clay) fines are susceptible to liquefaction. These experiences …

Cyclic liquefaction of silty sands remains to be very intriguing for both research and practice.
Even though many factors are known to influence the liquefaction resistance of sands, the …

Dry and moist tamping methods are widely used for the investigation of sandy soil
liquefaction. However, the effect of these two tamping-based reconstitution methods on …

Soil deposits containing some amounts of plastic fines (ie, clay) with different saturation
conditions can behave differently under seismic loading, which needs to be considered …

This study aims to investigate the undrained shear strength of sand with added materials at
different mean diameter ratios D 50/d 50 (D 50 and d 50 respectively represent the mean …

Kutch region has experienced widespread liquefaction and related damage during a series
of past earthquakes; however, cyclic behavior of sandy soils of the region is yet to be …

The paper presents an experimental study on the effect of plastic fines content on the
undrained behavior and liquefaction susceptibility of sand-fines mixtures under cyclic …

This work evaluated the effect of three distinct amounts of fines, Portland cement and dry unit
weights on the accumulated loss of mass (ALM), maximum shear modulus at small strains …

Liquefaction is the most detrimental ground failure caused by strong earthquakes. Ground
liquefaction leads to associated foundation and superstructure failures due to loss of bearing …

Soils in natural or reclaimed areas frequently contain a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, rather
than consisting solely of clean sand. The influence of a small proportion of fine plastic …
