Microstructure of compacted low-plasticity soils: the initial fabric and its evolution on stress and suction paths

Soils used in earthworks undergo different hydro-mechanical paths due to the compaction and construction process, the change in climatic conditions or the groundwater level oscillations. Their hydromechanical behaviour is greatly affected by their initial microstructure set on compaction that evolve...
