“…Macroscopic mechanical behaviors of natural granular soils are significantly influenced by (1) internal factors, such as particle strength (Kuwajima et al 2009; Shipton and Coop 2012; Wei and Yang 2014), particle size (Varadarajan et al 2003;Frossard et al 2012;Dai et al 2016;Zhang et al 2016;Zhou et al 2016), particle size distribution (Kokusho et al 2004;Li et al 2013;Wang et al 2013;Ovalle et al 2014;Dai et al 2016;Strahler et al 2016;Xiao et al 2018a), particle shape (Cho et al 2006;Yang and Luo 2015;Altuhafi et al 2016), and density (Been et al 1991;Wan and Guo 1998;Xiao et al 2014a); and (2) external factors, such as confining pressure (Charles and Watts 1980;Chiu and Fu 2008;Xiao et al 2016aXiao et al , 2017Strahler et al 2018), stress path (Vaid and Sasitharan 1992;Xu et al 2012;Xiao et al 2016b), loading mode (Chu and Wanatowski 2009), saturation (Oldecop and Alonso 2001;Yamamoto et al 2009;Ovalle et al 2015), and drainage conditions (Chu et al 2012). Moreover, addition of fines (i.e., particle size finer than 74 μm) in different fractions to clean sands can greatly affect the strength, dilatancy, and critical-state behavior of these sand-fines mixtures (Thevanayagam 1998;Salgado et al 2000;Polito and Martin 2001;Chiu and Fu 2008;…”

The effect of particle shape on the strength, dilatancy, and stress-dilatancy relationship was systematically investigated through a series of drained triaxial compression tests on sands mixed with angular and rounded glass beads of different proportions (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). A distinct overall regularity parameter was used to define the particle shape of these mixtures, which ranged from 0.844 to 0.971. The test results showed that all of the samples at an initial relative density of 0.6 exhibited strain-softening and volume-expansion behavior. It was found that the peak-state deviatoric stress, peak-state axial strain, and peak-state friction angle at a given confining pressure decreased with increasing overall regularity. The maximum differences in the peak-state deviator stress, peak-state axial strain, peak-state friction angle, excess friction angle, and maximum dilation angle due to changes in particle shape could be as much as 0.61 MPa, 5.4%, 8.6, 1.5, and 3°at a given confining pressure of 0.4 MPa. In addition, it was found that the slope of the relationship between the peak-state friction angle and maximum dilation angle was independent of the particle shape, whereas the intercept (i.e., the critical-state friction angle) was significantly influenced by the particle shape. A stress-dilatancy equation incorporating the effect of overall regularity was proposed and provided a good estimate of the observed response accounting for the different particle shapes investigated.

“…The fabric and structure of the soil domain, such as anisotropy [17,18], external forces such as induced stresses [19][20][21], duration [20], and loading rates [22,23], were appraised immensely. Granular materials include sands, ballast, rock fill, coral, coal, and food powder such as sugar and snow [5,19,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. The intensity of particle breakage is appraised through the variation of the grading of granular materials using single grading, either indices or global grading indices obtained from the particle size distribution curve (PSD) [5].…”

The present study analyzes laboratory experiments on how shearing rate affects the shear strength and crushability of natural coarse sand, employing artificial neural network (ANN) analysis. This study tested three different coarse sands obtained from the crushing of natural rocks: Black Virgin Tuff, weathered Zeolitic Tuff, and calcareous limestone. The behavior of crushed sand specimens with consistent grading, which passed through sieve #4 and were retained on sieve #8, was analyzed using a direct shear box. The specimens were subjected to varied normal loads and shearing speeds to examine their behavior at different relative densities. The test results were analyzed using ANN to investigate the significance of shearing rates on shearing strength parameters, specifically internal mobilized peak friction, the constant volume (residual) internal friction angle, and the consequence of shearing rate on the particle's breakage index. The selected normal (Gaussian) rate significantly affected both the shear strength parameters and breakage. The loading rate increased both shear strength parameters and particle breakage. Therefore, it's highly recommended to maintain secure sets of shear strength values and comprehensive test data for assessing parameters at typical strain rates, prioritizing using slower rates whenever possible.

“…The aforementioned researches were conducted on different types of granular material, specifically of silica, carbonate, and gypsum sands (Yu, 2017, Xiao et al, 2017, Yamamuro et al, 1996. The other searched granular materials include but not limited to ballast, rock fill, coal, and snow, among others (Indraratna et al, 2020, Strahler et al, 2018, Zhang et al, 2017, Barraclough et al, 2016, and Xiao et al 2020 Particle breakage quantification also was subject to extensive research and different methods were suggested according to the parameters assessed. Different particle crushing index used in literature based on either global variation of grading, particular variation in grading sizes, a fine content portion, or grain area evolution through the test (Xiao et al 2020).…”

In this study, the effect of the quasi rate of loading in the crushing of black tough sand will be studied experimentally. The experimental works will be conducted at different normal stresses, different relative densities, and different rates of loading using the direct shear tests. All test specimens were prepared with uniformly graded sand, passing sieve #4, and retained sieve #8.The results of direct shear tests were used to investigate the factors influencing the amount of particle breakage and consequently the friction angle. After shearing of each specimen, sieve analysis was performed in order to determine the percentage of particle breakage. Results showed that the rate of loading in direct shear plays a significant role in the amount of crushing and in internal friction angles. The amount of crushing as well as shear strength was increased with the increased rate of loading. Moreover, microstructural analysis used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis shown that the crushing from granular have primarily resulted from disintegration, grinding and abrasion of particles.
