Abstract: A new approach to the topic of numerical description of void characteristics of noncohesive soils and similar granular materials is presented. Based upon a simple stochastic model of the void structure and void sizes, ...

Abstract: On the basis of a stochastic theory for the void‐size distribution in noncohesive soils and similar granular materials presented in a companion paper, equations for representative grain sizes in the two terms of the ...

Abstract: Some presently used filter criteria are illogical. Besides satisfying

Abstract: In an earlier paper, the writer derived theoretical equations for void ratio as a function of grain-size distribution. Here, the equations are used to find the grain-size distributions that give the smallest possible void ...

Abstract: In an earlier paper, the writer presented a simple stochastic model of the grain and pore structure in cohesionless soils and similar materials. Equations that very adequately predict the void ratio as a function of ...
