Stress transmission in internally unstable gap-graded soils using discrete element modeling

MF Langroudi, A Soroush, PT Shourijeh, R Shafipour - Powder technology, 2013 - Elsevier
Three dimensional discrete element modeling is employed to investigate micromechanical
behavior of internally unstable/stable gap-graded soils under isotropic compression. Two …

A comparison of micromechanical assessments with internal stability/instability criteria for soils

MF Langroudi, A Soroush, PT Shourijeh - Powder Technology, 2015 - Elsevier
Suffusion is the erosion of small particles through the skeleton of coarse grains. Soils
susceptible to suffusion are described as internally unstable. In this study three dimensional …

Numerical Modeling of Soil Internal Erosion Mechanism

Internal erosion and pi** are main causes of failures and accidents to embankment dams.
The risk of internal erosion and pi** for new dams can be controlled by better design and …

Numerical modeling and analysis of suffusion patterns for granular soils

H Tao, J Tao - Geotechnical Frontiers 2017, 2017 - ascelibrary.org
Migration of fine particles through constrictions between coarser fabrics by seepage force is
the process termed suffusion. A coarser soil structure resulted from fines loss will lead to …
