Grain shape effects on the mechanical behavior of compacted earth
The main purpose of this paper is to experimentally explore the effects of grain shape and size on the mechanical behavior of compacted earthen materials. Sand-earth, natural rounded gravel and crushed angular gravel are the three materials used in this study. Both gravels are from the same site and...
