The effects on geotechnical properties of rock mass from the constituent particle morphology
have been acknowledged since long. Particle morphology is among the most important …

To explore the fractal dimension, particle shape, and particle breakage of calcareous sand
(CS) under multi-level ending pressure, a series of one-dimensional compression …

The deformation and degradation of ballast is influenced by the size of the aggregates. In
this study, a series of cyclic drained triaxial tests was conducted on ballast with different …

In this study, a novel stabilization approach using locust bean gum (LBG) was proposed to
enhance the strength properties of natural soil. A series of laboratory tests were first …

This paper presents a laboratory investigation of the strain-dependent dynamic properties of
volcanic granular soils composed of a rhyolitic crushed rock along with additional …

Obtaining the three-dimensional (3D) shape of gravel particles is essential for calculating
their roundness and sphericity. However, cost-effective, and rapid non-penetrating 3D …

This article presents an analysis of the shear strength of numerical samples composed of
polyhedra presenting a grain size dispersion. Previous numerical studies using, for instance …

This study investigates the interplay between particle shape, grading and initial sample
density, three of the most important factors influencing the mechanical behaviour of sheared …

In recent years, the tendency to use asphalt concrete cores in earth dams is very common
and is increasing. In such dams, the interaction between asphalt concrete core and soil …

The shear-strength anisotropy of loess-paleosol sequences (LPS) provides vital information
for engineering and construction activities and mitigation against geological disasters. The …
