Relationship between pore-size distribution and shear strength of compacted sand-kaolin mixtures

Determination of pore size distribution of sand-kaolin relationship with shear strength is the main objective of the study. Different compositions of sand and kaolin result in different distributions of pore sizes between the soil particles. In this experiment, sand-kaolin mixtures were tested for s...
