Experiments on the internal stability of widely graded cohesionless soils

Internal instability of widely-graded cohesionless soils results from an inability to prevent loss of the finer particles in the presence of forces induced by seepage flow and, on occasion, vibration. Instability is governed by a combination of geometrical and hydromechanical constraints, and theref...
