  • Monotonic, Cyclic and Postcyclic Shear Behavior of Low-plasticity Silt

    by Shuying Wang ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book gathers the main research findings on monotonic, cyclic and postcyclic shear behavior of low-plasticity. Drawing on the low-plasticity silt from the Mississippi River Valley, it determines that the silt’s critical state line can be changed due to liquefaction, and thus offers valuable insights and reference data for further investigations on soil mechanics and engineering applications to ...
