Granular anchors for stabilising slopes
A series of small-scale tests was undertaken to verify if granular anchors could be used as a slope stabilisation technique. The nature of the material used and the resulting loading configuration are described here. The work confirms that the inclusion of anchors within a slope mass, irrespective of their number or orientation, significantly enhances the capacity and ductility of the failure m...
متن کاملRandom Loose Packing in Granular Matter
We introduce and simulate a two-dimensional Edwards-style model of granular matter at vanishing pressure. The model incorporates some of the effects of gravity and friction, and exhibits a random loose packing density whose standard deviation vanishes with increasing system size, a phenomenon that should be verifiable for real granular matter.
متن کاملFactors affecting seismic response of submarine slopes
The response of submerged slopes on the continental shelf to seismic or storm loading has become an important element in the risk assessment for offshore structures and “local” tsunami hazards worldwide. The geological profile of these slopes typically includes normally consolidated to lightly overconsolidated soft cohesive soils with layer thickness ranging from a few meters to hundreds of met...

متن کاملContact models for very loose granular materials
One challenge of todays research on particle systems is the realistic simulation of granular materials consisting of many thousands of particles with peculiar contact interactions. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD, also called discrete element method, DEM) is introduced for the simulation of many-particle systems. A wide class of realistic contact models is presented, involving dissipation...
