Response of gravel-rubber mixtures under direct shear testing: experimental and DEM numerical investigations
ABSTRACT This paper presents the results from direct shear testing of gravel-rubber mixtures through laboratory experiments and numerical simulations using discrete element method (DEM). Mixtures with volumetric proportions of 0%, 10%, 25%, 40% and 100% granulated rubber were tested using a conventional, medium-sized direct…
