Water-induced granular decomposition and its effects on geotechnical properties of crushed soft rocks

The widespread availability of soft rocks and their increasing use as cheap rockfill material is adding more to geotechnical hazards because time-dependent granular decomposition causes significant damage to their mechanical properties. An experimental study was conducted through monotonic torsional...
