Mechanical behaviour of compacted decomposed granite soil
… of critical state soil mechanics, although particle crushing takes place during loading. A unique normal compression line, critical state line and the state boundary surface have been identified. This verifies the application of critical state soil models to the behaviour of crushable soils, …

Micromechanical Aspects of Aging in Granular Soils
… dissolution of silica and precipitation at the particle contacts, cementation due to microbiological activity, internal stress redistribution caused by particle crushing, and buckling of the load chains due to particle slippage. New evidence points out that internal and time-dependent changes in …

Shear behaviour and stiffness of naturally cemented sands
… calcarenite with relatively low densities, weak particles and strong bonding and a silica sandstone with high densities, strong particles and weak bonding. Comparative studies were also undertaken on their corresponding reconstituted soils and on an artificially cemented carbonate sand. Testing …

Cyclic Properties of Natural Soil Containing Pumice Particles
Sands containing pumice particles are commonly found in the Waikato Basin in the North Island of New Zealand. The pumice particles originated from a series of volcanic eruptions centred in the Taupo and Rotorua regions. As a result of flooding and erosion along the Waikato River, the pumice …

Scale effects in tests on footings
… effects of stress, and of absolute and relative particle size, in tests on vertically loaded footings. Two granular materials, namely, a silica rock flour and a Chatelet flint grit, which differed in nominal diameter by a factor of 50 but were otherwise practically similar in all other grain …
