Abstract: The addition of fines to sand directly changes the void ratio of a sand-fines mixture and thereby leads to a change in its mechanical properties. Numerous packing models have been proposed to capture the variation of limit ...

Abstract: A series of drained triaxial tests were performed on sandy soils [crushed glass (CG) and glass bead (GB)] with different mean particle sizes in order to investigate the effect of both particle size and particle shape on ...
