Discrete element simulation of crushable rockfill materials [PDF]
Water Science and Engineering, 2013 A discrete element method was used to study the evolution of particle crushing in a rockfill sample subjected to triaxial shear. A simple procedure was developed to generate clusters with arbitrary shapes, which resembled real rockfill particles.

Effects of toe configuration on throughflow properties of rockfill dams [PDF]
, 2021 Rockfill dams must be equipped with defence mechanisms to counteract the destabilizing effects of throughflow forces under accidental leakage scenarios. A key component of the rockfill dam overtopping system is the rockfill dam toe, constructed in tandem
