Abstract: In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical investigation of axisymmetric collapse of granular columns has been conducted using the discrete element method (DEM). The simulated granular columns have a constant initial ...

Abstract: High ground temperature plays an important role in stability analysis when dealing with underground projects. To study the influence of ground temperature on the properties of surrounding rock, conventional triaxial ...

Abstract: The effects of anthropogenic factors on the water cycle in drylands of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) are unclear. Here, we used the Community Earth System Model (CESM2.1.0) to quantify the influences of greenhouse gases ...
