Abstract: A novel approach has been developed to predict the mechanical behavior of very coarse granular materials with a constitutive model, which considers both grain breakage and size effect. The behavior of granular assemblies ...

Abstract: Investigating the mechanical properties of rockfills requires laborious, time-consuming, and expensive large-scale testing. Therefore, practitioners frequently adopt design parameters based on a limited number of reports ...
