Abstract: Degradation of geomaterials, that is, particle breakage, can be harmful to the full life-cycle stability of practical engineering; for example, rockfill dam, energy-pile foundation, railway embankment, and retaining wall. ...

Abstract: Particle breakage could significantly influence the shear strength, volumetric deformation, stress–dilatancy relationship, and plastic-flow rule of crushable sands. A breakage-dependent fractional-plasticity (BDFP) model ...

Abstract: Carbonate sand has been widely used as the building materials for land reclamation in marine areas in the recent decades. The complex inner structures and particle characteristics of carbonate sand increase the difficulty ...

Abstract: Particle breakage is a typical characteristic of crushable granular soil under high pressure, which has great effects on its stress–strain behaviors. The phenomenon of the critical state line (CSL) shifting downward in the ...
