Scale and suction effects on compressibility and time-dependent deformation of mine waste rock material Open
Designing high mine waste rock piles for long-term behavior requires material mechanical characterization over a large range of stresses and variable environmental conditions. However, representative coarse samples cannot be handled by sta…

Particle size effects on the water retention properties of colluvial sediments Open
This paper explores the influence of the particle size on the water retention properties of a colluvial deposit derived from banded iron formations in the Pilbara region in Western Australia. A small-scale experimental program aimed at eva…

Shear strength and microstructure of polydisperse packings: The effect of size span and shape of particle size distribution Open
By means of extensive contact dynamics simulations, we analyzed the effect of particle size distribution (PSD) on the strength and microstructure of sheared granular materials composed of frictional disks. The PSDs are built by means of a …

Does modifying the particle size distribution of a granular material (i.e., material scalping) alters its shear strength? Open
By means of two dimensional contact dynamics simulations, we analyzed the effect of the particle size distribution (PSD) on the shear strength of granular materials composed of un-breakable disks. We modelled PSDs with a normalized beta fu…

Trends in the evolution of particle morphology with size in colluvial deposits overlying channel iron deposits Open
Size limitations of testing equipment often impliy that samples of coarse granular materials must be scalped or scaled, to reduce the size of the constitutive particles, before they can be tested either by triaxial or direct shear in the l…
