Assessment of the internal stability of granular soils against suffusion
The internal stability against suffusion of granular soils and filter which have a primary coarser skeleton and loose finer particles (i.e. bimodal structure) were studied using a semi-empirical method to divide the grain size distribution curve to two components, a primary skeleton and loose particles; the primary skeleton acts as a filter for the loose particles and this filter is active, and hence the whole soil is internally stable, if the d85 of loose particles is greater than the controlling constriction size (Dc35) of the primary skeleton. Also, a statistical analysis was carried out to determine the controlling constriction size (Dc35) as function of the some soil grain sizes.
