Abstract

Glacial tills and residual soils are two examples of heterogeneous soils or melanges, containing particles of widely disparate size. A constitutive model to describe their mechanical behaviour on the basis of a two-component mixture scheme is proposed. Results of compression tests, performed under triaxial and one-dimensional conditions on artificial melanges of gravel and kaolin in various proportions, are then used to verify the effectiveness of the model
