      Article
      Accés obert
      A three-dimensional discrete element model is used to investigate the effect of grain crushing on the tip resistance measured by cone penetration tests (CPT) in calibration chambers. To do that a discrete analogue of pumice ...

      Butlanska, Joanna; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos (2015-03)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The authors deserve praise for gathering together many different strands of evidence that clarify the mechanics of pile penetration in sand. In their review of numerical approaches to the problem, they correctly indicate, ...

      Butlanska, Joanna; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Gens Solé, Antonio (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      A three—dimensional numerical model was implemented to PFC3D Code to simulate cone penetration test in Ticino sand in a calibration chamber. The model is calibrated using laboratory test results. The full/half/quarter ...

      Article
      Accés obert
      Calibration chambers are frequently used to verify, adapt, or both verify and adapt empirical relations between different state variables and in situ test results. Virtual calibration chambers (VCC) built with 3D discrete ...
