Assessment of Contact Laws Accounting for Softening in 3D Rigid Concrete Particle Models

To obtain predictions closer to concrete behaviour, it is necessary to employ a particle model (PM) that considers contact softening. A bilinear softening contact model (BL) has been adopted in PM studies. Several limitations in PM predictions have been identified that may be due to BL assumptions....
