Creep of calcareous sand in Tunisia: effect of particle breakage at low stress level

Abstract Aims/hypothesis One of the critical mechanisms determining creep in granular materials is the breakage of soil particles. This study aims at evaluating the time-dependent creep deformation of calcareous sand at low effective stress conditions. Methods K0 creep tests were performed for both...
