Dried granular material subjected to saturation under certain vertical stresses, results in collapse settlement, due to sliding in the grain contacts, particle rearrangement and breakage. In this research, the effects of saturation on shear strength parameters and the collapse behavior of clean gravels are investigated via a large scale direct shear test. For instance, first, all physical properties of the gravelly material were evaluated via some specific laboratory tests, including grading analysis, specific gravity of soil solids, unit weight of soils and Los Angeles abrasion tests. Maximum and minimum densities were determined in order to provide samples in a specific relative density. The materials, which were selected for collapse tests were classified as GP and SP, due to their potential for collapse during saturation. In order to compare the shear strength parameters in dry and wet states, large-scale direct shear test apparatus with a sample dimension of
