Fines content effects on liquefaction susceptibility, void ratio & soil fabric: a grading entropy approach

Leak, James

Abstract

These slides were presented at the 18th European Mechanics of Materials Conference: Mechanics of porous and granular materials (2022). They discuss research into the effect of increasing fines content in soils with regard to their internal stability. The grading entropy stability criteria was used to investigate a large dataset of soils available in the literature. It is suggested that increasing non-plastic fines content works to (overall) destabilise soils internal stability, rendering them more susceptible to behaviours such as liquefaction.
