- Abstract
With the GDS dynamic triaxial system, undrained dynamic triaxial tests on the saturated sand with different fines content are performed, and the effects of fines content on evolutionary characteristics of dynamic pore water pressure of saturated sands in the process of liquefaction are analyzed based on Seed pore water pressure stress model. It is found that fines content has great effect on the dynamic pore water pressure of saturated sands by the parameter θ for Seed model. The relationship between parameter θ and fines content isnt linear. Parameter θ decreases with the increase of fines content at first, and then reaches its smallest value when the critical value of fines content is 30%. After that, parameter θ increases gradually with the rise of fines content. According to the experimental study on effects of fines content on evolutionary characteristics of dynamic pore water pressure of saturated sands, the existence of critical fines content with 30% is further proved in the sandy soil used in the test.
