Influence of Particle Size Distribution on the Critical State of Rockfill

In order to study the effect of particle size distribution on the critical state of rockfill, a series of large-scale triaxial tests on rockfill with different maximum particle sizes were performed. It was observed that the intercept and gradient of the critical state line in the e−p′ plane decrease...
