Abstract

Most sand deposits contain varying amounts of silt fines, which have a significant effect on sand behavior. The equivalent intergranular void ratio (eseq) is proposed as a state variable in studying the behavior of mixed soils when the percentage of fine grains is less than threshold value (FC
