Abstract:The microstructure, understood as the distribution of pore sizes and their connectivity, is an important factor that affects the mechanical behaviour and the hydraulic properties of compacted soils with fine fraction (silts and clays). The present study evaluates the effect of the microstructure on statically compacted samples of low plasticity clay from Barcelona, focusing on the analysis of the compressibility of the soil along mean net stress and matric suction paths. The material has been compacted to a pr… Show more
