| Project Title | Numerical and experimental investigations into particle size distribution and variability effects on soil behaviour using discrete element modelling and grading entropy concepts |
| Project Description | Soil is a particulate material. Therefore, any behaviours that a soil exhibits must be implicitly linked to its particle size distribution (PSD). Commonly, PSD is implemented into models/methods via gradation descriptors such as the coefficient of unifo |
