| Description | The understanding of the crushing behaviour of granular materials subjected to loading is of great importance for engineering design. The degree of breakage of the material is generally related to the strength of the individual particles. However the size of the particle, the number of contacts on the particle and the size of the void surrounding the particle also contribute to the crushing of the particle. This paper presents an experimental study of the compressibility and crushing behaviour of calcareous soils from the Western Coast of Australia. The soil specimens have been subjected to a high level of vertical stress (up to 117 MPa) in an oedometer. The level of crushing of the soil particles has been estimated by sieving the materials prior to and after the test. The crushability of the soils has been quantified using the Hardin criterion, which has been modified in order to account for soils with a high fines content. In order to further investigate the various parameters contributing to the crushing of granular materials, glass balls of 2 different diameters (0.5 mm and 5 mm) were used. Loading similar to that applied to the soil specimens was applied to the glass balls. The degree of crushing of the glass balls was compared to the soils.
