3D DEM investigation of granular column collapse: Evaluation of debris motion and its destructive power

<p style="text-align:justify;"> This paper presents a numerical investigation of the behaviour of dry granular flows generated by the collapse of prismatic columns via 3D Distinct Element Method (DEM) simulations in plane strain conditions. Firstly, by means of dimensional analysis,...
