An experimental study on the volume of quicksand through underground boreholes

This paper presents an experimental study of the factors influencing the volume of quicksand through underground boreholes for dewatering by exposing sand aquifers.Six blocks with various diameters to simulate boreholes with different diameters and 4 kinds of sands with different particle sizes are used to examine the relationship among the volume of quicksand,particle size and diameter of the borehole.The results show that the volume of quicksand increases with decreasing particle size of sand....
