Experimental investigation on liquefaction resistance of saturated silty soil: effects of clay content and intergranular void ratio

Key Points

• The liquefaction resistance is significantly influenced by the clay content in saturated silty soil, affecting stability.
• Results indicate varying intergranular void ratios lead to measurable differences in liquefaction behavior for tested soil samples.
• Experimental investigations assessed how modifications in clay content impact the overall soil mechanics parameters.
• Understanding these relationships is crucial for informed geotechnical engineering practices in liquefaction-prone areas.
