The shear strength of sand and its mechanical properties can be affected by numerous parameters. This work presents an experimental investigation which aims to study the influence of the fines content, the depositional method and the grain size on the shear strength of Chlef sand. Tests were conducted with the shear box on two types of soil, the natural sand and the clean sand-silt mixture. Dense samples (Dr = 88%) were reconstituted through dry deposition for each type of the material. An additional series of tests was carried out on a medium dense natural sand (Dr = 52%) prepared by dry and wet (w = 3%) deposition methods. All specimens were subjected to normal stresses of 100 kPa, 200 kPa and 300 kPa and there was no immersion of water. The tests results show that the behavior of sand can be affected by three parameters, the fines content, the deposition method and the particle size. The maximum shear stress and the friction angle decrease as the fines content increases, the initial water content increases, the effective grain size diameter decreases and the uniformity coefficient increases. The cohesion intercept increases with the increasing fines content and decreasing initial water content. Overall, the samples prepared by the dry deposition method show more resistance than those prepared by the wet deposition method. The results obtained are generally in agreement with the previous research on drained and undrained saturated sand in the literature.

This paper presents results of a series of undrained monotonic compression tests on loose sand reinforced with geotextile mainly to study the effect of confining stress on the mechanical behaviour of geotextile reinforced sand. The triaxial tests were performed on reconstituted specimens of dry natural sand prepared at loose relative density (Dr = 30%) with and without geotextile layers and consolidated to three levels of confining pressures 50, 100 and 200 kPa, where different numbers and different arrangements of reinforcement layers were placed at different heights of the specimens (0, 1 and 2 layers). The behaviour of test specimens was presented and discussed. Test results showed that geotextile inclusion improves the mechanical behaviour of sand, a significant increase in the shear strength and cohesion value is obtained by adding up layers of reinforcement. Also, the results indicate that the strength ratio is more pronounced for samples which were subjected to low value of confining pressure. The obtained results reveal that high value of confining pressure can restrict the sand shear dilatancy and the more effect of reinforcement efficiently.
