Dilatancy and shear strength of sand at low confining pressures

T Chakraborty, R Salgado - Journal of geotechnical and …, 2010 - ascelibrary.org
Sand dilates with shearing at a rate that increases with increasing relative density (DR) and
decreases with increasing effective confining stress (σ c′). The peak friction angle of a sand …
