Abstract: It is known that the mechanical properties of low-plasticity silt are similar to those of sand, and yet silts are frequently used as coastal reclamation materials in many cities and industrial areas and will thus be ...

Abstract: Low plasticity silts are liquefiable and the dissipation of pore pressures after an earthquake will be accompanied by densification and compression of the soil skeleton. Anisotropic rather than isotropic stress distributions ...
