Hello,
I am working on a project that involves relocation of a waste rock pile consiting of material with diameters up to 6-12 inches. Most of the material is very large, only a small fraction appear to be fines.
Is there a way to determine the grain size distribution of this material for use in correlating D10 with internal friction? Most of the material would not fit in a standard ASTM D422 aparatus. I would also be interested in any other ways to determine internal friction (for use in modeling slope stability)... box shear? Any other ideas? Thanks!
