“…where ∆Vsks and ∆Vgs are the volumetric compression of the skeleton and grains due to the change of total confining pressure respectively; ∆Vsku and ∆Vgu are the volumetric compressions of the skeleton and grains due to the change in pore water pressure respectively; and ∆Vw and ∆Va are the volumetric compressions of water and air bubbles, respectively. Much research has been conducted thereafter to study the effect of particle and fluid compressibility on the behaviour of geotechnical materials (Borja, 2006;Vlahinic et al, 2011;Schreyer-Bennethum, 2014;Molenkamp, 2014).…”
