Influence of particle breakage on the isotropic compressibility of sands
Particle breakage is a theme of great focus on affecting the behavior of granular soil. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the...
-
Microstructural interpretation of effective stress equations for unsaturated sands
It was fairly accepted to interpret soil behaviour at the microstructural level by utilising the effective degree of saturation instead of the total...
