Prediction Model of Minimum Void Ratio for Various Sizes/Shapes of Sandy Binary Mixture by Chaojie Shen, Zhaoyang Xu, Jie Yin, Jinfeng Wu

“…The minimum void ratio is a fundamental physical index for evaluating particle properties in soil mechanics, ceramic processing, and concrete mixes. Previous research found that both particle size distribution and particle shape characteristics would affect minimum void ratio, while the current research generally uses a linear model to estimate the minimum void ratio of a binary mixture, ignoring quantitative effect of particle shape on the minimum void ratio. …”
