Liquefaction potential sand-silt mixtures under static loading

Abstract: As a part of an on-going research program on the mechanical instability of granular soils in our laboratory, defined contents of sand and silt in soil mixtures are studied through the triaxial apparatus, full range of initial relative density states (loose, medium and dense) are experiment...
