Abstract
The properties of sands pertaining to shear strength have been studied extensively by plane strain and triaxial tests for relative densities above 40%. Unfortunately, properties of sand have not been comprehensively studied for relative density below 40%. An experimental investigation of the shear strength of Jumunjin sand was carried out using a plane strain, triaxial and direct shear apparatus according to relative density ranges from 0 to 100%. Because of the complexity of the shear tests on coarse materials, correlations were developed that would be useful for practical purposes. This article presents a comparison of strength properties' results and their correlation with relative density.
