Exploring the effects of stress history on the drained and undrained cyclic behaviour of granular materials.

Presentation / Conference
Barreto, D. (2011, January)
Exploring the effects of stress history on the drained and undrained cyclic behaviour of granular materials. Paper presented at 5th International Conference on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (5-ICEGE), Santiago, Chile
This paper presents the results of 3D DEM simulations of granular materials subject to cyclic loading. While both the drained and undrained conditions are considered, the effe...
