The effect of particle shape on the strength, dilatancy, and stress-dilatancy relationship was
systematically investigated through a series of drained triaxial compression tests on sands …

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has attracted significant attention as a
promising in situ ground reinforcement method, particularly for the improvement of existing …

In the recent times, the use of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) technology has become
popular for constructing safe and sustainable pavement structures. The strength of the …

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 …

Abstract The geologist Hakon Wadell proposed the roundness definition in the 1930s for
quantifying the particle angularity of granular soils. Due to the difficulty in obtaining three …

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 …

Particle granulometry plays an important role in the engineering behavior of many sands.
However, the evaluation of particle shape and size has historically been a tedious and labor …

Gravel is a widely used construction material due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness.
However, gravel particles are prone to crushing under dynamic loading, causing changes in …

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 …
