Triaxial Testing’s 1/6th Rule: Particle-Continuum Analysis of Granular Stability during Compression
The 1/6th Rule of Triaxial Testing says that particles larger than 1/6th the diameter of the specimen will skew test results when not discarded. Although this rule is documented in the procedures of government laboratories, its origin is obscure. In this paper, the rule is derived as a corollary of...
