Determination of the equivalent intergranular void ratio - Application to the instability and the critical state of silty sand

This paper presents an experimental study of mechanical response of natural Camargue silty sand. The analysis of test results used the equivalent intergranular void ratio instead of the global void ratio. The calculation of equivalent intergranular void ratio requires the determination of parameter...
