Limited flow behaviour of sand with fines under monotonic and cyclic loading

Abstract

Experimental studies on a sand with 10% fines were conducted to establish the linkage between monotonic and cyclic instability under undrained loading, in particular for the case of limited flow. Results of special strain path testing were presented to offer a theoretical explanation on the lack of clear field evidence of limited flow. © 2008 Science Press Beijing and Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation.
