Micro mechanics of drained and undrained shearing of compacted and overconsolidated crushable sand (2017)
Journal Article
de Bono, J. P., & McDowell, G. R. (2018). Micro mechanics of drained and undrained shearing of compacted and overconsolidated crushable sand. Géotechnique, 68(7), 575-589. https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.16.P.318

A numerical crushable soil sample has been created using the previously published McDowell and de Bono (2013) model and subjected to a range of stress paths. Compacted sand simulations are performed using conventional triaxial stress paths, constant...

Validation of the log e–log σ normal compression law using particle strength data (2017)
Journal Article
de Bono, J. P., & McDowell, G. R. (in press). Validation of the log e–log σ normal compression law using particle strength data. Géotechnique, https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.17.T.007

This note is a study of experimental data on particle strength and normal compression, to establish whether the recently proposed normal compression law by McDowell and de Bono (2013) is supported and confirmed. A number of different sands are examin... Read More about Validation of the log e–log σ normal compression law using particle strength data.
