Abstract:The rhombic sphere packing can be used to model the biaxial test on granular soils in a very simple way. According to the angle of assemblage, the packing is dilatant or contractive. Correspondingly, overall stresses are transmitted as chains of forces or oblique forces of contact. The connection of the soil stress-strain behaviour and the packing void ratio is achieved by mapping both of the plots. The mapping shows that dense soils are dilatant and loose soils are contractive, separated by the critical state… Show more
“…The recent studies direct that slope failure due to accumulation of strain found very commonly in slopes [14][15][16][17][18]. This aspect of behavior motivates to study the response of soil mass during slope failure.…”

“…It was observed that shear band propagation occurred along the thin layer of weak material. Yanqui (2021) [18] studied the development of shear band in dense clay having rhombic frictionless spheres packing. The results of packing model reported that the experimental results were in good agreement.…”
The stability of slopes was carried out by studying the shear band and formation in the slopes. The development of shear band was exposed to be prevalent in softening material. Although, the shear band development is a crucial aspect in

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.
