Numerical Analysis of Shear and Particle Crushing Characteristics in Ring Shear System Using the PFC<sup>2D</sup>

The shear and particle crushing characteristics of the failure plane (or shear surface) in catastrophic mass movements are examined with a ring shear apparatus, which is generally employed owing to its suitability for large deformations. Based on results of previous experiments on waste materials fr...
