Abstract
An aggregate is a group of primary particles that cohere to each other
more strongly than to other surrounding soil particles. Most adjacent
particles adhere to some degree. Therefore, disintegration of the soil mass
into aggregates requires imposition of a disrupting force. Stability of aggregates
is a function of whether the cohesive forces between particles
withstand the applied disruptive force.
