how to consider effect of gravel fraction in dynamic triaxial testing ?generally soil passing through 4.75 mm sieve is considered for testing.
 
Although I'm not sure exactly what corrections should be considered off hand, I can say that the greater the gravel or coarse sand content is, the larger the specimen should be for dynamic testing (or other testing) to get a large enough sample that is representative of the specimen.
