Abstract
An analysis of the arrangement of particles in unconsolidated aggregates allows the prediction of some of their properties such as porosity, permeability, and pore-size distribution. Experimental results obtained from systems of spherical beads and from a mixture of sands are in agreement with the theoretical predictions.Keywords
