Abstract
In this study, the effect of particle size and shape parameters on shear strength of sand–rubber mixture was investigated using repose angle, as an analogy to the constant volume response, maximum dilatancy, and peak internal friction angles for various mixture conditions. For this purpose, four different granulated rubber and sand sizes were used to include the particle size effect. The size ratio of rubber and sand was maintained as unity in the mixtures. The influence of particle shape was reflected using three different shape classes for sand and two different particle forms for rubber granules. The shape properties of particles were quantified using overall regularity parameter with image processing. The percentage of rubber in the mixtures was varied at five different rates by weight of total sample. As a result, it was observed that the soft-rubber inclusion affected the shear strength parameters distinctively. The geometrical properties of sand and rubber particles have leading roles in the evolution of shear strength.
期刊介绍:
Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science.
These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations.
>> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa.
The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.
