This paper presents a critical review of the grading entropy approach of permeability-
coefficient predictions (k P) for coarse-grained soils. The approach applies the grading …

By means of discrete-element methods, we investigate the joint effects of the grain size
distribution (GSD) and contact friction on the structure of three-dimensional samples …

This note presents some constant-head permeability test results on 30 granular mixtures.
These data are then interpreted using the grading entropy approach, as well as the …

This paper describes a new formulation for estimating the permeability of drainages
composed of natural sands with no clay content, starting from the parameters obtained from …

In this study, a rigorous mathematical approach used to compute an effective diameter
based on particle size distribution (PSD) has been presented that can predict the hydraulic …

Using high-quality hydraulic conductivity test results for compacted soil samples with widely
different gradation characteristics, 14 commonly employed empirical correlations for …

Sediments experience mineral dissolution in most natural settings, and as a result of
engineered processes such as carbon dioxide injection. The consequences of mineral …

A new database called AC/k-1624 containing over 1600 measurements of saturated
hydraulic conductivity of asphalt concrete has been assembled and analysed. AC/k-1624 …

The particle size distribution (PSD) curve is an important expression of the basic properties
of the soil. The characteristic parameters such as median particle size D 50, effective particle …

Particle breakage in soils is a well-recognised behaviour. Conventional methods for
quantifying the breakage process rely on calculating the area between the particle size …
