Abstract: A high-pressure triaxial compression and extension testing apparatus was utilized to investigate the effect of initial relative density on soil instability. Stress paths from a series of undrained tests, at confining ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional testing apparatus was developed to test soils to axial stresses up to 850 MPa. The apparatus was instrumented with strain gauges such that lateral soil stresses, and therefore

Abstract: Particle breakage occurs when the stresses imposed on soil particles exceed their strength. To quantify the amount of breakage, many particle breakage factors have been proposed. Correlations of particle breakage parameters ...
