Abstract
This paper reviews particle packing models and explores their application in geotechnical engineering, specifically for sand-silt mixtures. The review covers key models, including limiting case, linear, and non-linear packing models, focusing on their mathematical structures, physical principles, assumptions, and limitations through the concept of excess free volume. The application of particle packing models in geotechnical engineering is explored in characterizing the properties of sand-silt mixtures, offering insights into maximum, minimum, and critical void ratios and inter-granular void ratio, and the prediction of mechanical properties.
