Large scale, discrete element simulations are performed to study the dynamics of a rotating drum partially filled with cohesive granular particles. The continuous avalanche regime is explored using a simple model for interparticle cohesion in order to simulate the effects of granular media in the presence of a wetting fluid. The shape of the free surface for cohesionless particles ranges from f...

The behaviour of gap-graded granular materials – that is, mixtures coarse and cohesionless finer grains with measurable differences in particle size does not always conform to established frameworks sand behaviour. Prior research has revealed the role particles on stress–strain response, liquefaction resistance internal stability non-cohesive soils is significant complex, highly dependent both ...

Soil - structure interaction behaviour of pile foundation is complex for heavier structures which suffer large lateral load due to wind, wave action etc., in addition the vertical and oblique load. The parameters involved determining capacity are its structural geometry, soil properties ground condition. different horizontal compared sloping ground; it even under loading unloading conditions. I...

The study aims to construct a framework for CPT based ultimate pile capacity calculation cohesionless soils with random field theory. Cone tip resistance (qc) was taken as the spatially varying parameter constant mean and changing coefficients of variation. profiles were simulated generations, single (Qu) calculated these simulations. influence spatial variation qc on Qu investigated. proposed ...
