For this purpose, a series of monotonic undrained triaxial compression tests were carried out on samples composed of Chlef sand with 0.5% non-plastic silt content using two depositional methods (dry funnel pluviation and wet deposition) at different initial relative density (RD= 29%, 50% and 80%). All specimens were subjected to isotropic consolidation of 50 kPa, 100 kPa and 200 kPa. It was found that the initial structure of the soil influences considerably the undrained shear response in terms of maximal deviatoric stress, peak strength and excess pore water pressure.20102018-06-11 09:44:01Znanstveno delo70729ISSN: 1854-0171UDK: 551:624.13OceCobissID: 215987712COBISS_ID: 257455616ISSN pri članku: 1854-0171NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:I3MLRA3BslFakulteta za gradbeništvo, prometno inženirstvo in arhitekturo Univerze v Mariboru
