Abstract

Two powerful propositions: state dependency of constitutive relation and equivalent granular void ratio, e* are combined to obtain a constitutive model that can capture the influence of fines content, ƒc (particle size<0.075mm) irrespective of density and stress states. This was achieved by merely substituting e* and equivalent granular state parameter, Ψ* for void ratio, e and state parameter, Ψ into a state dependent constitutive model for clean sands. While this model can capture static liquefaction behaviour, it is further evaluated in this article with counter-intuitive but significant features of the influence of ƒc, irrespective of density and stress states.
