Role of Particle Shape on Ground Responses to a Circular Tunnel Excavation in Sandy Soil: Consequences from DEM Simulations

Role of Particle Shape on Ground Responses to a Circular Tunnel Excavation in Sandy Soil: Consequences from DEM Simulations

Due to the sensitivity of sandy soil’s mechanical behavior to the particle shape, it is thus of importance for interpreting the effect of particle shape on the ground response induced by tunnel excavation in sandy formations. We conducted a series of 2D DEM (discrete element method) simulations on a...
