Popis: In this study the concepts of engineering fracture mechanics are used to investigate the behavior of cohesive soil crumbling. Prior to the analysis, the physical structure was investigated using the electron scanning method. Cohesive soil-crushing tests were conducted to evaluate the fracture parameters. The results of both phenomenal and experimental approaches indicated that the concept of engineering fracture mechanics can be applied to evaluate soil fracture leading to crumbling.
