摘      要：This paper describes the results of an experimental study on the undrained shear behaviour of loose sand collected from the location close to the epicenter of the recent Chlef （Algeria） Earthquake （October 10,1980）.The study focuses on the effects of the mode of the soil deposition on the liquefaction resistance of the Chlef *** this purpose,the results of undrained monotonic triaxial compression tests performed on samples with initial density of 0.29 under initial confining pressures ranged from 50 kPa to 200 kPa are *** specimens were prepared by two depositional methods namely dry funnel pluviation and wet *** was found that there was a marked difference in the undrained behaviour of sand in terms of maximal deviatoric stress,peak strength,residual strength and excess pore water pressure,even though the density and stress conditions were *** conclusion was that the soil fabric was responsible for this *** results indicated also that at low confining pressures,the specimens reconstituted by the wet deposition method exhibited complete static liquefaction （zero effective confining pressure and zero stress difference）.
