Abstract

Cyclic triaxial load testing and collection of data on the cyclic strength deformation characteristics of silty soils were made. The data points out the difficulty in establishing liquefaction criteria for silts in terms of joint pore pressure and deformation characteristics. Unlike sands, the strains develop before a significant pore pressure increase is recorded. Post-cyclic residual strength appears to be a function of the deformation that must take place before the excess pore pressure can drop by redistribution and soil show measurable gain in strength.
