The Effect of Soil Particle Arrangement on Shear Strength Behavior of Silty Sand

The presence of fines in sandy soil is recognized as a problem in geotechnical engineering. It is often assumed that the strength and liquefaction potential of a soil decreases with increasing fines content. Sand with a significant amount of fines is always encountered in geotechnical engineering pr...
