Influence of Grain Size Distribution on Critical State of Granular Materials
Conference paper
Summary
This paper aims to investigate the influence of grain size distribution (GSD) on the critical state of Hostun sand. Drained triaxial tests were conducted on saturated specimens with different GSD (Cu=1.4, 5, 10, 20) under different confining pressures (100, 200, 400 kPa). The experimental results highlight that the critical state of the tested sand predominantly depends on its GSD.
