True Triaxial Tests and Strength Characteristics Study on Silty Sand

Effect of Cementation on the Shear Strength of Tehran Gravelly Sand Using Triaxial Tests

strength evaluation of wet reinforced silty sand by triaxial test

conventional investigations on the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soils are often investigated at the failure point. in this paper, a new concept of comparison of the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soil by estimating the strength and strength ratio (deviatoric stress of reinforced sample to unreinforced sample) at various strain levels is proposed. a comprehensive set of labor...

Strength-Flow Parameters of Loose Silty Sands From Piezocone Tests

Piezocone penetration tests with dissipation phases are particularly useful for geotechnical site characterization. They also provide three independent readings with depth from a single sounding as well as time-rate information. In past investigations, only silty sands with specific silt content have been tested and complete sets of tests have not been conducted to evaluate the influence of dif...

The undrained shear strength characteristics of silty sand : an experimental study of the eff ect of fi nes

This laboratory investigation has been conducted to elucidate how the fi nes fraction affects the undrained residual shear strength and liquefaction potential of sand-silt mixtures (Algeria). A series of monotonic and cyclic undrained triaxial tests were carried out on undrained, reconstituted, saturated samples of sand with varying fi nes content ranging from 0 to 50%. These were undertaken in...
