A database of 53 granular soils with 154 varying PSD curves is analyzed to evaluate the performance of the proposed PSD model, as well as that of three other PSD models in the literature. The results show that the proposed model has improved overall performance and captures the typical trends in PSD evolution during particle breakage. In addition, the proposed model is also used for assessing the internal stability of 27 widely graded soils.]]> Fri 06 Mar 2020 12:15:42 AEDT ]]>
