Abstract
This paper discusses the influence of non- plastic fines on the liquefaction and reconsolidation volumetric strain behaviour of sand based on the strain controlled cyclic triaxial experimental results. The investigations were carried out on sand samples collected from earthquake-affected area of Ahmedabad city of Gujarat state in India. Laboratory investigations were conducted on clean sand (prepared from the natural sand) samples with varying amount of non-plastic fines. Experimental results highlight a considerable influence of non-plastic fines on the resistance to liquefaction and reconsolidation volumetric strains behaviour during cyclic loading.
