"Sand and gravels are grouped together as granular soils and the forces that hold them together are frictional due to their jagged and rough surface texture." Mixed soils contain a mixture of both ...

Smooth drum soil compactors are used primarily for compaction of granular soils such as sand, gravel and crushed rock. They consist of a large, smooth drum at the front, which vibrates to compact ...

Anchor behavior and pullout capacity in granular soils are critical topics in geotechnical engineering, particularly for structures that require stability against uplift forces. Anchors are used ...
