Application of Weibull Statistics to the Tensile Strength of Rock Aggregates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rock aggregates forming part of engineering structures such as embankments, rock fills, pile foundations, and pavements are subjected to static and dynamic loads. As a result of these loads crushing occurs in two different ...
Discrete Element Method Evaluation of Granular Crushing Under Direct Shear Test Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Granular materials forming part of civil engineering structures are subjected to both static and dynamic loads. As a result of these loads, particle crushing occurs. This study focuses on the evolution of crushing in a ...
Degradation of a Granular Base under a Flexible Pavement: DEM Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flexible pavements are composed by an asphalt concrete layer, granular base and subbase layers, and a natural subgrade. The granular materials forming part of the granular layers are subjected to static and dynamic loads ...
Visualization of Crushing Evolution in Granular Materials under Compression Using DEM
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Granular materials forming part of natural slopes, embankments, subgrades of foundations, and pavement structures are subjected to both static and dynamic loads during their engineering lives. As a result of these loads, ...
