Influence of grain size on strength of polymineralic crystalline rock : new insights from DEM grain-based modeling

Grain size effect on rock strength is a topic of great interest in geotechnical engineering. A consensus obtained from earlier laboratory tests is that rock strength generally decreases with the increase of grain size for both silicate and carbonate rocks; however, some recent numerical results conf...
