Volume Contraction in Shallow Sediments: Discrete Element Simulation

Displacements induced by mineral dissolution and subsurface volume contraction affect overlying soils. In this study, we examine the consequences of mass loss or volume contraction at shallow depths using a discrete element method. The goal of the study is to identify particle-scale and global effec...
