When such mechanical interactions develop, the particles two nonparallel clay particles immersed in a fluid system. In the tend to arrange themselves in a nonparallel manner. To verify present study, these theories are used in an approximate model this, as part of a recent study on soil anisotropy, a series of of one-dimensional compression to examine the role of particle one-dimensional compression tests were performed on a kaolinorientation on the behavior of a montmorillonite. It is shown that ite soil. During the tests, electrical conductivity of the soil was consideration of nonparallel fabric could potentially explain the measured in two perpendicular directions: along the axis of discrepancy observed in the past between experimental and theoloading (s v ) and perpendicular to the axis of loading (s h ). The retical behaviors.
