..., indicating static liquefaction or flow failure. The peak and critical state friction angles of coral silt are lower than those of coral sand but much higher than those of the other terrigenous clayey silts. A curved critical state line with well-defined horizontal asymptote in the deviatoric stress – mean...

...). For these reasons, MT specimens were used to infer the CSL, while DP and WP were used to determine stress- and state-dilatancy parameters. The grave risk posed by static liquefaction failure of slopes comprising loose, saturated fills is evidenced by over a century of documented case histories – for example...
