Cyclic triaxial tests are performed on reconstituted specimens having global relative density of 60%. In all cyclic triaxial tests, loading pattern is selected as a sinusoidal wave form with 1.0 Hz frequency and effective consolidation pressure is chosen as 100 kPa. Liquefaction resistance is defined as the required cyclic stress ratio causing initial liquefaction in 10 cycles during the cyclic triaxial test. The results are used to draw conclusions on the effect of the extreme void ratios and void ratio range on the liquefaction resistance of various graded sands. © 2009 ASCE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCyclic testsGrain sizeSand, soil typeSoil liquefactionVoidsCyclic loadsGrain size and shapeSandSoil mechanicsSoilsTestingConsolidation pressureCyclic stress ratioCyclic testsCyclic triaxial testsGraded sandGrain sizeLaboratory testLiquefaction resistanceLiquefaction susceptibilityLoading patternsReconstituted specimensRelative densitySaturated sandSinusoidal waveSoil typesVoid ratiosSoil liquefactionconsolidationcyclic loadinggrain sizeliquefactionsandstress analysisstress fieldtriaxial testvoid ratioCyclic testsGrain sizeSand, soil typeSoil liquefactionVoidsCyclic loadsGrain size and shapeSandSoil mechanicsSoilsTestingConsolidation pressureCyclic stress ratioCyclic testsCyclic triaxial testsGraded sandGrain sizeLaboratory testLiquefaction resistanceLiquefaction susceptibilityLoading patternsReconstituted specimensRelative densitySaturated sandSinusoidal waveSoil typesVoid ratiosSoil liquefactionconsolidationcyclic loadinggrain sizeliquefactionsandstress analysisstress fieldtriaxial testvoid ratioCharacterization of liquefaction susceptibility of sands by means of extreme void ratios and/or void ratio rangeArticle135121986199010.1061/(ASCE)GT.1943-5606.00001642-s2.0-75949097567Q1WOS:000272181800021Q2
