Abstract: The paper presents a micromechanical analysis of plane granular assemblies of discs with a range of diameters, and interacting according to linear contact force-interparticle compliance relationships. ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of a numerical parametric study focused on the prediction of vertical load distribution and vertical gap compression between precast concrete facing panel units in steel-reinforced soil walls ...

Abstract: The structural response of reinforced‐soil wall systems with more than one reinforcement type (nonuniform reinforcement) is investigated using a numerical approach. The selected reinforcement types and mechanical properties ...
