The new approach retains the advantage of using the greenfield condition as an input, but it allows closed-form consideration...

...: elastic deformation. Both particle-scale simulations and continuum analyses are deployed. Analyses based on the discrete-element method (DEM) reveal that, depending on the contact behaviour, anisotropy may emerge even if the topology of the grain contact network is unchanged. The inspection...

The knowledge of the soil reaction to excitations arriving at the foundation from the superstructure or the underlying soil is key to the appropriate...
