Özet
In this study, an experimental procedure was adopted to evaluate cyclic behavior of silts of pore water pressure ratios less than 50%. A commercially available nonplastic silt was used to eliminate the effects of plasticity. All the specimens were isotropically consolidated under 100 kPa and later subjected to cyclic triaxial compression tests. In this regard, dependence of cyclic stress ratio (CSR), initial relative density (D-r) and cyclic axial strain (epsilon(sa)) on pore water pressure generation pattern - either at small or large deformation levels - were evaluated. It was inferred that, volume changes in silt due to the reconsolidation after cyclic loading with an induced pore water pressure ratio (R-u) less than 50% shows limited liquefaction.
