Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the effects of changing grain size distribution (GSD) on the critical state of Hostun sand. Drained triaxial tests were conducted on saturated specimens with different GSD (Cu=1.4, 5, 10, 20) under different confining pressures (100, 200, 400 kPa). The experimental results highlight that the critical state of tested sand predominantly depends on its GSD.
