This paper reports a series of experiments aimed at studying the effect of grain crushing on the water retention capacity of granular soils. Specimens of granular materials have been subjected to oedometric compression at high pressures, revealing that crushing causes significant alterations of both grain-size distribution (GSD) and soil water retention curve (SWRC).

31 Particle crushing is a fundamental physical process underlying many macromechanical behaviors 32 of granular materials. It has great relevance to many fields including geotechnical, mining, 33 pharmaceutical and chemical industries where crushable granular materials are routinely handled.

granular materials during grain crushing have been proposed. A group of practical approaches based on the concept of relative breakage, have been developed to define the degree to which the granular material is crushed during loading [10,32–34]. A key com-ponent in the concept of relative breakage is a predefined ultimate

This study, based on a series of laboratory experiments, primarily focuses on the angle of repose after the failure of granular deposits made of a single and two layers of granular materials (sand and gravel). The laboratory tests made of two layers will try to simulate the behavior of

Aug 07, 2006· This invention pertains to tests of granular materials. More particularly, apparatus and method are provided for testing crush-resistance of granular materials such as proppants used in wells. 2. Background of Inventions. Slurries of granular material are commonly pumped down oil and gas wells to improve the producing characteristics of the well.

Unbound compacted granular materials are commonly used in engineering structures as layers in road pavements, railroad beds, highway embankments, and foundations. These structures are generally subjected to dynamic loading by construction operations, traffic and wheel loads. These repeated or cyclic loads cause abrasion and crushing of the granular materials.

Thus, when the granular base reaches the conditions of Figures 1(c) and 1(d) as a result of crushing, serious problems will develop in pavements. Very little is known about non destructive methods to evaluate crushing of granular materials.

crushing is one of the micromechanisms that govern the stress-strain behavior of a granular material and also its permeability by altering the grain size distribution [5]. The behavior of granular materials is very multifaceted, behaving neither like solids nor like viscous fluids. Stresses inside the granular body are composed by multi-

granular material, and also its permeability by altering the grain size distribution. It is therefore advantageous to be able to predict the point of onset of crushing and to quantify the subsequent evolution of crushing. This paper uses the data of Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations to inform a statistical model of granular crushing.
