A database of the mechanical behavior of 25 natural sands was compiled from the existing
literature. Particle shape and size analysis, obtained by dynamic imaging analysis, for each …

This research aims to establish accurate correlations between critical state characteristics
and particle shape parameters in terms of overall regularity (OR), considering the gradation …

This paper presented a numerical solution to an interesting phenomenon that excess pore
water pressure is caused by the gas generated in wet municipal landfills. The proposed …

This paper presents a new three-dimensional (3D) contact model incorporating rolling and
twisting resistances at inter-particle contact, which can be introduced into the discrete …

This paper describes a fundamental study to explore the role of particle shape in the shear
behaviour of mixtures of sand and fine particles (fines) through macro-scale and grain-scale …

The mechanical behavior of hydrate‐bearing sediments subjected to large strains has
relevance for the stability of the seafloor and submarine slopes, drilling and coring …

Size and morphological characteristics of particles play vital role on the shear and interfacial
shear strength of sands. Often, effects of these parameters are merged and cannot be easily …

Methane hydrate‐bearing sediments with different amounts of fines content and at three
densities were artificially prepared under controlled temperature and pressure conditions …

Particle shape affects the mechanical behavior of soils, including packing density, stiffness,
volume change during shear, and strength. Laboratory experiments conducted to study the …

This paper focuses on desaturation due to the microbially mediated dissimilatory reduction
of nitrogen, or denitrification, for mitigating the potential for earthquake-induced soil …
