Erratum to “Assessing the quasi-static conditions for shearing in granular media within the critical state soil mechanics framework” (Soils and Foundations (2016) 56(1) (152–159) (S0038080616000147) (10.1016/j.sandf.2016.01.013))

The publisher regrets that the inertial number values were miscalculated. The internal number (I) values listed on Table 1 and in the legend entries of Figs. 3, 4, 5(c), 6(a) and 7(a) should be revised as follows: [Table presented] The revised numbers should be taken to replace the original values that are given in the discussion in the manuscript text. For clarity, Figs. 5a, 5b, 5d, 6 and 7 are replotted: [Table presented] Regarding the conclusions presentated in Section 5 of the paper the following revised observations should be noted: 1. A clear dependancy of the dilatancy on I was found for I > 3.2e⁻⁴.2. An indistinguishable response was found for I < 7.9e⁻⁵.3. The proposed upper limit for quasi-static simulations should be taken as I ≤ 7.9e⁻⁵.4. This limit is relatively conservative and represents a lower bound to the values given in the literature (MiDi, 2003; da Cruz et al., 2005; Koval et al., 2009; Azema and Radjai, 2014).5. The limit is in agreement with the observations of Modenese (2013) who noted a sensitivity of the critical state parameters to I at I values as low as 1⁻⁴.The publisher would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. © 2017
