The behavior of sand is affected by the content of nonplastic fine particles. How and to what
degree the fines content affects the minimum and maximum void ratios has been studied in …

Maximum and minimum density tests, conducted on a variety of clean sands, show that the
minimum and maximum void-ratio limits are controlled primarily by particle shape, particle …

抄録 Characteristics of the maximum and minimum void ratios of sands and their possible
use for material characterization have been investigated in this study. Data of over 300 …

A comprehensive model for the index void ratios e max and e min of sands is presented. It is
based on a large set of previously published sand properties as well as tests on 25 new …

Substantial decrease in resistance to liquefaction is shown to occur with increase in
confining pressure for a rounded and an angular sand having identical gradation. For a …

This paper describes the results of an experimental investigation of capillary effects on the
low strain shear modulus of sands in a partially saturated condition. It studies:(1) Void …

Minimum void ratio or maximum packing density is an important soil property in geotechnical
engineering. It correlates to the volume change tendency, the pore fluid conductivity, and the …

Undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on reconstituted samples of Nevada
and Ottawa sands with systematic variations in the fines content (particles smaller than …

∑ ri/N ð Þ rmax (1) where N is the number of features examined. The first attempt to classify
soil grains by means of roundness is attributed to Russell & Taylor (1937). From visual …

Void ratio has traditionally been used as a state variable for predicting the liquefaction
behaviour of soils under the critical state soil mechanics framework. Recent publications …
