Abstract
The influence of fines on the liquefaction potential of sandy soils has been studied by conducting isotropically consolidated stress controlled triaxial tests. Experimental results are compared with predictions using the theory developed by Nasser and Shokooh which is based on energy considerations. The theory determines the excess pore water pressure in terms of the number of cycles N, the dimensionless shear stress amplitude, and the initial and minimum values of the void ratio. The comparisons show good agreement between experimental data and model predictions for the pore water generation under cyclic loading for both loose and medium sands and medium silty soils.
