Effect of the particle’s shape on the dynamic shear modulus and compressibility of diatomaceous soils

Diatomites are unicellular algae fossils that can be found worldwide. This paper studies the diatom's shape effect on diatomaceous soil mixtures' dynamic and compressibility properties. Physical characteristics of six diatomite samples with variable shapes and taxonomies are presented. Amo...
