DOI: 10.1007/s12517-020-05762-4
Abstract: This paper presents effects of particle size distribution and plasticity on geotechnical properties of sand-clay mixtures. Two different clay types (kaolinite and bentonite) were mixed with different-sized clean sand at mixture ratios of 0 to… read more here.
