the angle of internal friction. This result shows that the consolidation procedure of<br />
Eurocode 1 erased all stress history s<strong>im</strong>ilarly to pre-shearing to steady-state as<br />
recommended by Jenike [74].<br />
7.2.5. Surface properties of particles<br />
The inter-particle friction is an obvious component of shear strength and in<br />
1960’s and 70’s attempts were undertaken to find a relationship of the two effects.<br />
Rowe [144] suggested that the pr<strong>im</strong>ary task was to separate the strength<br />
component of particle structure from that of inter-particle friction. This author<br />
derived relationships of strength l<strong>im</strong>its for loose and dense sands that gave “quite<br />
close” agreement over the range of the angle of inter-granular friction φ µ from 17°<br />
to 39° for cohesion-less soils. Apart from φ µ and density, Rowe considered<br />
measurement technique for the stress state of deformed sample and found that for<br />
dense sands triaxial compression and direct shear gave s<strong>im</strong>ilar results. Feda [51]<br />
summarized results of efforts undertaken up to 1975. No substantial progress in<br />
theoretical description of internal friction took place after that t<strong>im</strong>e. The structural<br />
component (or packing structure) of internal friction remains difficult to describe<br />
and monitor, but these days may be treated by DEM. Analysis of force<br />
distributions in three-d<strong>im</strong>ensional granular assemblies performed by Blair et al.<br />
[20] regarded the significance of inter-particle friction. The authors varied the<br />
coefficient of static friction between grains in such a way that for rough beads it<br />
was three t<strong>im</strong>es higher than for smooth ones. The resultant force distributions for<br />
rough beads were not significantly different from the distributions for the smooth<br />
beads. The tests have shown that particle deformation is the key factor for<br />
intergranular force distribution. Results of Blair et al. show that the phenomenon<br />
of internal friction still remains far from a conclusive description.<br />
7.2.6. Formation of shear bands<br />
Granular materials are deformed in many ways during processing. For a small<br />
strain the deformation is usually uniform. For a larger strain the deformation<br />
localises into a narrow region of shearing band. This region separates almost rigid<br />
blocks of a granular material. An effective rupture zone called a boundary layer or<br />
shear zone forms along the rough or corrugated wall in a silo with plug flow when<br />
friction between wall and grain is higher than internal friction of grain [119]. There<br />
is always a shear zone of a width equal to a few particle diameters in which the<br />
velocity changes rapidly from that in the bulk to that at the wall. The thickness of<br />
the boundary layer was found to be dependent on the granular material. Zhang et al.<br />
[177] examined shear zones in wheat sliding against corrugated steel surface. The<br />
lower boundary of the shear zone was est<strong>im</strong>ated at 4.5 mm below corrugation peaks
