Granular materials are characterized by both material variability (grain shapes and size distributions, grain surface properties, etc.) and microstructural variability (organization of grains and
Granular media (granulars) are common both in nature and technology and have been intensely studied [1,2,3], attracting a still growing theoretical interest [4, 5].There is a number of different testing methods suggested for determining various aspects of their behaviour [6, 7].Depending on the conditions (material type and history, stress level, …
The base course material, according to ACI 302, "Concrete Floor and Slab Construction," should be "compactible, easy to trim, granular fill that will remain stable and support construction traffic." ACI 302 recommends material with 10 to 30% fines (passing the No. 100 sieve) with no clay, silt, or organic materials.
Granular Sub Base (GSB) is a natural or designed construction material used as a sub-base layer for road construction. Granular Sub Base is a layer in the road foundation just above the compacted sub-grade layer. GSB or granular sub base prevents capillary water from rising; its particle size is so designed that the capillary action stops and ...
Soft-grain materials such as clays and other colloidal pastes share the common feature of being composed of grains that can undergo large deformations without rupture. For the simulation of such materials, we present two alternative methods: (1) an implicit formulation of the material point method (MPM), in which each grain is …
Granular Material Point Method (GMPM), Seyedan and Sołowski, 2 takes such concepts further to approximate the behaviour of the material during the flow. Flows of unsaturated granular materials are difficult to model numerically as the flowing material behaviour is complex (e.g. Refs. 3, 4) and involves large displacements and strains.

El material de sub-base granular también debe estar exento de materias vegetales, basura, terrones de arcilla o sustancias que incorporadas dentro de la capa de sub-base granular puedan causar fallas en el pavimento [3]. Se establecen tres tipos de subbases. Los materiales de subbase de la clase 1 estarán constituidos por agregados …
In the field of granular materials, a link between the microscopic variables (contact force and displacement) and macroscopic variables (stress and strain) requires an intermediate scale called the mesoscopic scale. An important class of mesostructure is the so-called loops, which are closed chains of grains in contact. In two dimensions (2D), …
A series of discrete element simulations of granular materials under true triaxial stress state have been carried out to reveal the underlying mechanism of the macroscale behavior. It was found that the fabric evolutions at the micro-scale level are significantly affected by the value of intermediate principal stress ratio [2, 41].

1. Introduction. The strength of granular materials is influenced by the confining pressure (Schofield and Wroth, 1968, Hardin, 1989).Extensive experimental and numerical studies have been carried out in past decades to investigate the behavior of granular soils under the confining pressure σ c over 50 kPa, while fewer studies can be found under the lower …
Capillary actions are known to strongly influence the strength and flow properties of granular materials 1,2,3,4, thus playing a fundamental role in several natural and engineering applications (e ...
Materials with a large variation in particle size usually undergo higher degrees of segregation as a result of improper stockpiling practices. Usually aggregate materials in which the ratio of the largest to the smallest …

The granular material is usually composed of spherical beads, washed sand or fibres. The columns are usually made of an inert, transparent material such as glass or Plexiglas. The packed-bed column technique has been used extensively in numerous particle deposition studies (e.g. Kallay et al., 1983 ; Tien, 1989 ; Elimelech, 1991 ).

The materials studied in the present work have very different shock sensitivity properties. Experimental studies have shown that shock sensitivity is driven by microstructural parameters, notably the size of explosive particles [36], their shape [46], extra-granular [35] and intra-granular defects [2], [6], [7], [9].In the present work, we …
