Relation between the Friction Angle of Sand at Triaxial Compression and Triaxial Extension and Plane Strain Conditions
The strength of sand is usually characterized by the maximum value of the secant friction angle. The friction angle is a function of deformation mode, density, and stress level and is strongly correlated with dilatancy at failure. Most often, the friction angle is evaluated from results of conventio...
