Abstract:In this paper, the effect of particle shape is investigated on the stress reduction and collapse deformation of gravelly soil using medium-scale direct shear test apparatus under different relative densities, normal stress, and shear stress levels. The Micro-Deval test was used to produce sub-angular particles from angular particles with continuous smoothening of the corners of the particles. Two series of soil specimens were obtained with the same rock type, particle size distribution, and relative density bu… Show more
