Abstract
A study is presented on characterization of sand fabric by means of the distribution, which allows the engineer to indirectly but quantitatively examine the sand fabric. The term pore-size is clarified so that a better link is established between the terminology used in the literature of mercury porosimetry and that used in the conventional probabilistic approaches in geotechnical engineering. A technique has been verified satisfactory for preparation of sand specimens for mercury intrusion tests, which make possible the measurement and determination of the distribution and the density function in sand. Data deduction and typical distributions and density functions for the sands studied are presented and discussed.
