Effect of percentage of low plastic fines on the unsaturated shear strength of compacted gravel soil
Low plastic fines in gravel soils affect its unsaturated shear strength due to the contribution of matric suction that arises in micro and macro pores found within and between aggregates. The shear strength of five different types of prepared gravel soils is measured and is compared with a theoretic...
