Modeling the effect of wetting on the mechanical behavior of crushable granular materials

It is well known that the compressibility of crushable granular materials increases with the moisture content, due to the decrease of particle strength in a humid environment. An existing approach to take into account the effect of grain breakage in constitutive modeling consists in linking the evol...
