Experimental study on maximum dry density of scaled coarse-grained soil
are used to reduce the scale of a coarse-grained soil into a grading with smaller particles
namely 20 mm
40 mm and 60 mm.. A number of the maximum dry density tests are conducted by the vibrating method. Based on the test results and fractal theory
a normalizing method is proposed to describe the relationship between maximum dry density
grading and content of fine grains. Based on the newly proposed normalizing method
the relationship of dry density versus fractal dimension before tests and the content of grains smaller than 5 mm and maximum particle size is found. According to the founded relation
the maximum dry density of the real gradation is determined. In addition
the effect of scale reduction method on the variation amplitude of grain size distribution curves of coarse-grained soil specimens before and after tests is studied. And the relationship of fractal dimension of particle breakage versus fractal dimension before tests coefficient
the content of grains smaller than 5 mm and the maximum particle size is found. Based on the newly summarized relation
the fractal dimension of particle breakage of the real gradation after filling can be determined.
