A gradation-dependent hypoplastic model for crushable sands

Y Tang, S Wang, C Zhang - Acta Geotechnica, 2024 - Springer
A gradation-dependent hypoplastic model is developed to capture the mechanical
behaviours of crushable sands. First, a gradation evolution law is proposed to describe the …

Investigating the effects of non-uniformity of mixing on the shear behavior of soft-rigid mixtures with DEM

J Zhang, Y Xiao, X Chen, B Liu, ZY Yin - Computers and Geotechnics, 2024 - Elsevier
Soft-rigid mixtures (SRMs) are typically pre-mixed before backfilling in engineering
applications. However, the properties of soft materials make it particularly challenging to …
