A novel framework for describing suffusion in cohesionless soil, incorporating ideally gap-graded is presented this paper. The key assumption of the proposed simulation that an erodible particle flow induced primarily by drag force. multiphase seepage-soil phenomena conducted based on framework. validity method checked through a past laboratory experiments, which variation grain size distributi...

Handling and processing of bulk granular materials is of major importance in many industries including agriculture, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, construction and mining. In recent decades, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) is increasingly adopted for studying the complex behaviour of granular materials and simulating the industrial processes in many applications. DEM computes at individual p...

due to the heterogeneous nature of granular soils and the involvement of many effective parameters in the geotechnical behavior of soil-foundation systems, the accurate prediction of shallow foundation settlements on cohesionless soils is a complex engineering problem. in this study, three new evolutionary-based techniques, including evolutionary polynomial regression (epr), classical genetic p...
