HOW THE DILATANCY OF SOILS AFFECTS THEIR BEHAVIOUR

The relationships between the friction angle, dilation angle, density and pressure in a granular material are explored. The link between friction and dilation is well established, but quantitative expressions for the dependance of dilation on density and pressure are less well known. A new relations...
