Abstract
In this paper, comparison of the results of strain controlled and stress controlled cyclic hollow torsional tests, using energy approach, on sand-silt mixtures is presented to shed light on the influence of fines on cyclic resistance of soils. The results indicated that the limiting fines content was not dependent on the method of loading and was a physical characteristic of tested soil. The definition of intergranular and interfine relative densities could describe the result obtained in this study. In addition, the results showed that the frequency of loading had no effect on dissipated energy up to initial liquefaction for sand-silt mixtures with various fines content less than FClim, both in strain and stress controlled tests.
