Abstract

The present work encompasses a detailed study conducted on the effect of amount and type of fines on the properties of sand. The analysis is based on various tests including specific gravity, particle size analysis, consolidation tests, direct shear tests, etc., conducted on 17 soil combinations. The soil combinations were prepared by mixing sand with fines (0–40%) of different PI ranging from 0–15%. The variations in specific gravity, particle size characteristics (D50, Cu and Cc), limiting void ratios (emax and emin), angle of internal friction in loosest and densest possible state and compression index in loosest and densest state with respect to variations in the amount of fines and plasticity of fines are presented. Results indicate that there is a significant influence of fines on the properties of sand.
