The relationship between particle strength and particle breakage in loaded gravels

The particle breakage behaviour of coarse grains during shearing of a gravelly granular assemblage changes in accordance with the magnitude of the confining stress acting on the assemblage. The transition from particle rearrangement and sliding to particle breakage is studied for two gravelly materi...
