SAND SAMPLE PREPARATION-THE SLURRY DEPOSITION METHOD

A slurry deposition method of preparing homogeneous samples of well graded and silty sands is described. The method yields homogeneous saturated samples that are easy to replicate and possess fabric similar to that of natural fluvial sands. Since water pluviation results in segregation of well graded and silty sand, the proposed technique provides a convenient method of fundamental study of undrained behaviour of these liquefaction prone materials.
