Abstract

Experimentally obtained results show that the gradual loss of fine particles during internal erosion affects significantly the mechanical behavior of the soil. To simulate the behavior of sand-silt mixtures in both drained and undrained conditions, a constitutive model based on the introduction of the equivalent mean size and the evolution of the position of the critical state line with fines content for various sand-silt mixtures is proposed. This model describes the influence of the fines content from sand to silt on the overall behavior of soil mixtures and the impact of the decrease of the fines content due to internal erosion.
