Abstract

The paper critically examines the influence of non-plastic fine contents on the liquefaction behavior of sands. The studies reported in the literature are reviewed. It appears that it is not easy to clarify the influence of fines using parameters such as relative density and void ratio currently used for sands. The affects of fines beyond about 20% on liquefaction behavior of sand are more complex than previously thought.
