Abstract: Dry shrinkage cracking of soil is a common phenomenon in nature. The shrinking and cracking of soil have been linked to several geological disasters. To simulate dry shrinkage cracking in soil, we present a continuous 2D ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a three-dimensional (3D) grouting model based on the combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM). The 3D grouting model discretizes the problem domain into tetrahedral elements and joint elements, ...
