Effect of nonplastic silt content on undrained shear strength of sand–silt mixtures

Effect of nonplastic silt content on undrained shear strength of sand–silt mixtures

Abstract To assess the behavior of sand–silt mixtures, strain-controlled monotonic triaxial tests were conducted on sand–silt mixtures of specimen size 71 mm in diameter and 142 mm in height at various relative densities but same isotropic effective confining pressure of 100 kPa. Concept of limiting...
