Cyclic resistance of a decomposed granite
An important issue surrounding the identification of liquefaction susceptibility using laboratory testing is how well the soil sample being tested represents the soil in the field. Undisturbed samples are difficult and costly to obtain, while reconstituted soil samples must have a structure and fabric that represents in situ conditions as closely as possible. Recent laboratory tests on sand samples revealed that liquefaction resistance is strongly affected by the sample preparation technique, as different techniques result in different fabrics and structures. The same may be true for silty sand samples, although they have not been given the same research attention. Thus, this paper presents cyclic triaxial test results on non-plastic silty sand samples (a decomposed granite) and determines the number of cycles required to cause liquefaction, considering different failure criterion as well as different confining pressures, cyclic strength ratios and sample preparation techniques. The techniques include dry and slurry deposition. The experimental results show that the preparation technique does not have a significant influence on cyclic resistance.
