Influence of Scale Effect on Strength and Deformation Characteristics of Rockfill Materials. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 The hybrid method was adopted to model the original gradation of rockfill materials. According to the specification requirements, three simulated gradations of rockfill materials have been obtained. By the same token, the corresponding maximum particle sizes are 20 mm, 40 mm and 60 mm, respectively.

A simple permanent deformation model of rockfill materials
Water Science and Engineering, 2018 Existing experimental results have shown that using a semi-log linear relationship between the permanent volumetric strain and cyclic number underestimates the volumetric deformation of rockfill materials with a large cyclic number, and that the error ...

The Role of Nature of Particles on the Behaviour of Rockfill Materials
Soils and Foundations, 2006 The nature of the particles of seven alluvial rockfill materials and three quarried rockfill materials are expressed in terms of uncompacted void content and unconfined compressive strength of each of the rockfill materials. Drained triaxial tests are conducted on modeled rockfill materials.

Discrete element simulation of crushable rockfill materials
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.

Slaking deformation model for rockfill materials
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017 The safety of core wall type rockfill dams during reservoir impounding is greatly affected by the slaking deformation of upstream shell materials. The slaking deformation of the rockfill materials is analyzed using the triaxial slaking tests, in which ...
