It is well known that most particle technology studies attempting to predict secondary
properties based on primary properties such as size and shape begin with particle …

The morphology of granular materials, such as sands, is of significant importance due to the
effect of grain shape on their physical, mechanical, and hydraulic behavior. As technology …

To understand the process of mobilisation of shear strength in sand-geosynthetic interfaces
at a fundamental level, it is essential to precisely characterize the size and shape of the …

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 …

This paper presents a novel computational-geometry-based approach to generating random
packing of complex-shaped 3D particles with quantitatively controlled sizes and shapes for …

The effect of the shape of snakeskin-inspired patterns on the shear behaviour of soil-
continuum interfaces was investigated for their potential applications in geotechnical …

Acquiring particle shapes from raw particle images with complex backgrounds is a
prerequisite for particle shape evaluation, yet it is a challenging task. In this study, a …

Interface shear strength of geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) with the sand particles is
predominantly influenced by the surface characteristics of the GCL, size and shape of the …

Using low-cost polymeric geosynthetics has proven to be a sustainable solution for a wide
range of geotechnical problems, including liquefaction and associated disasters. The grain …

A typical ground investigation for characterizing geotechnical properties of soil requires
sampling soils to test in a laboratory. Laboratory X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been …
