Modelling a Sand Pile Application Using Cell-DEVS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cell-DEVS formalism extends cellular automata modeling. In this paper, we present a simple model for landslides using a model of a sand pile. The model uses Cell-DEVS formalism and CD++ tool to model and simulate landslides. Using this simple model, we present how Cell-DEVS formalism can be used to model systems that involve material accumulation and flow. Material flow and accumulation need special modeling consideration with Cell-DEVS to preserve mass conservations law. In modeling such systems, not only model updating rules would be important for correct behavior, but also choosing the model characteristics as type of delay would affect that behavior.

Centrifuge modelling of sand compaction piles in soft clay under embankment load
Sand compaction piles are used in practice for ground improvement of soft subsoil in order to accelerate consolidation, reduce compressibility, and increase strength. The current design procedure of sand compaction piles is based on simple empirical calculations, which does not take full account of the sand pile behaviour. This research project investigates the behaviour of a base reinforced em...

In this research paper, five centrifuge lateral loading tests of long piles with a considerable load eccentricity were carried out in the sand to investigate the impacts of the load eccentricity and pile length changes on the lateral behavior of a flexible pile beside the determination of experimental p-y curves. Comparing experimental test results with the recommended API (American Petroleum ...

متن کاملBenchmarking of FEM Technique Involving Deep Excavation, Pile- soil Interaction and Embankment Construction
Three case studies involving the use of numerical models are presented in this paper. First, a comparison of FE modelling of a deep excavation is made using 2-D finite element software, SAGE-CRISP and PLAXIS. In the second study, benchmarking is made between results obtained from 2-D FE modelling using PLAXIS and well-established 3-D centrifuge studies for the case of an existing single pile an...
