Coarse-grained granular soils are critical construction and building materials. The particle
shape of granular soils significantly affects their macro mechanical properties. The particle …

The particle shape of coral sand is a crucial factor that affects its accumulation
characteristics. Two-dimensional particle images of coral sand with different particle sizes …

This paper investigates the axial load transfer during seismic events for pile groups installed
in loose and dense sand layers. The analysis was conducted employing three-dimensional …

Small-strain shear modulus (G 0) is a fundamental property required in dynamic analyses.
For sandy soils, G 0 may be affected strongly by particle characteristics such as uniformity …

The minimum and maximum void ratios (e min and e max, respectively) of soils are intrinsic
soil properties related to their particle size distribution (PSD) and particle shape. Different …

A soil–rock mixture (SRM) is a type of heterogeneous geomaterial, and the particle
distribution of SRM can be described by fractal theory. At present, it is difficult to quantify the …

This paper investigates the effect of model scale on seismic response of prototype helical
pile (HP) groups employing finite element modelling approach verified by the results of …

Shape of soil grains has a major role in the characterization of its behavior. This important
feature has an appreciable impact on all mechanical properties of granular soils. In order to …

The paper presents an experimental study on the effect of plastic fines content on the
undrained behavior and liquefaction susceptibility of sand–fines mixtures under monotonic …

Although several empirical and analytical models are available to predict the threshold fines
content (f thr) for sand-silt mixtures, none of them considers the combined effects of particle …
