Formation of Silica Microstructures between Inundated Stressed Silica Grains: Effect on Intergranular Tensile Strength
<p>Laboratory tests on microscale are reported in which amorphous silica grains were compressed in a liquid environment, namely in solutions with different silica ion concentrations for up to four weeks. Such an arrangement represents an idealized representation of two sand grains. The grain s...
