Fig. 7. Plots of (a) {alpha}(0) vs. D0 and (b) widths of {alpha}-intervals: {alpha}(0) - {alpha}(qi,+) vs. {alpha}(qi,-) - {alpha}(0) for soils in the three groups considered. The numerical values of qi,+ and qi,- were the same and equal to the smallest of the two values defining a {Delta}q interval (see Table 3). Proximity to the 1:1 line implies (a) more homogeneous distributions, or (b) more symmetric f({alpha})-spectra. In plot (b) two soils of Group 2 had identical values and show as one point in the graph.
