Abstract
The notion ‘fabric’, which is often used instead of ‘structure’ for geo-materials, has two different meanings. If a skeleton is homogeneous with respect to the kind of solid particles these can be differently arranged according to the state of an RSE. The outline in Sect. 9.1 deals with the issue of remoulded, reconstituted and undisturbed samples. It may help to understand limitations of constitutive relations and of microscopic approaches.
