| 1 | This study assesses the sample preparation of large specimens of Mailiao sand from Yunlin county . | |
| 2 | According to the measurements by the mini-piezometers, the pore water pressure dissipation after shaking for Mailiao silty sand is about 15 times longer than that for clean Vietnam sand. | |
| 3 | This relatively low permeability layer resulted in longer duration of dissipation of generated pore water pressure and surface settlement compared with those of the clean Vietnam silica sand. |
