Abstract:River sand is a naturally occurring conventional construction material, which has good frictional properties.Due to a steep rise in the construction activities all over the world, natural sand resources are getting depleted. This has favored / forced the construction industry in general and geotechnical engineering practice in particular to go for M-sands. This necessitates a proper understanding of the frictional characteristics of Msands. In this technical note, the results from a comparative study of the fr… Show more
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.
