<p>In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the deformation and moisture transfer behaviour of Shirahama sandstone using small cylindrical samples.</p>

In this paper the behavior of a Vosges sandstone is studied, including quasi-homogeneous deformation, incipient strain localization and localised rupture.

<p>Extensive data of the strength and dilatancy of 17 sands in axisymmetric or plane strain at different densities and confining pressures are collated. The critical state angle of shearing resistance of soil which is shearing at constant volume is principally ...
