Backfill materials of rail abutment were commonly composed with cement treated aggregate, general aggregate and soil. The friction angle of cement treated aggregate increased up to 40° or more due to strength enhancement. However, 30°~35° of friction angle was typically applied for in-situ condition. This phenomenon could cause over-designing, therefore, it is essential to determine reasonable material properties of cemented treated aggregate. In this study, a series
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
