3D DEM simulations of CPT in sand
Butlanska, Joanna; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Gens Solé, Antonio (2012)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe paper contains an overview of the results obtained in a research project exploring the ability of 3D DEM models to reproduce cone penetration in sands. The sand whose behaviour is mimicked by the discrete material ... -
Cone penetration test in a virtual calibration chamber
Butlanska, Joanna (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-07-21)
Tesi
Accés obertCone penetration test (CPT) is a fast and reliable site investigation tool for exploring soils and soft ground. While the interpretation of the test results in clay has advanced considerably from a theoretical and numerical ... -
Cone penetration tests in a virtual calibration chamber
Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Butlanska, Joanna; Gens Solé, Antonio; Calvetti, Francesco; Jamiolkowski, Michael (2011)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialA virtual calibration chamber was built using a threedimensional model based on the discrete-element method. The chamber was then filled with a scaled granular equivalent of Ticino sand, the material properties of which ... -
DEM modelling of a double-porosity crushable granular material
Ciantia, Matteo Oryem; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Butlanska, Joanna; Gens Solé, Antonio (CRC Press, 2014)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe effect of grain crushing during one dimensional compression and triaxial compression tests is investigated in a double-porosity granular material using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Experimental tests results from ... -
DEM modelling of cone penetration tests in a double-porosity crushable granular material
Ciantia, Matteo Oryem; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Butlanska, Joanna; Gens Solé, Antonio (2016-03)
Article
Accés obertA 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 ... -
Discussion of “Stresses developed around displacement piles penetration in sand” by Z. X. Yang, R. J. Jardine, B. T. Zhu, and S. Rimoy
Butlanska, Joanna; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos (2015-03)
Article
Accés obertThe 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, ... -
Homogeneity and symmetry in DEM models of cone penetration
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'editorialA 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 ... -
Mapping deformation during CPT in a virtual calibration chamber
Butlanska, Joanna; O'Sullivan, C.; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Gens Solé, Antonio (CRC Press/Balkema, 2010)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThis paper analyses results from a three dimensional discrete element method simulation of the cone penetration test in a "Virtual Calibration Chamber" (VCC). The deformation patterns in the soil adjacent to the cone ... -
Marchetti flat dilatometer tests in a virtual calibration chamber
Butlanska, Joanna; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Amoroso, Sara; Gens Solé, Antonio (2018-09)
Article
Accés obertCalibration 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 ... -
Multi-scale analysis of cone penetration test (CPT) in a virtual calibration chamber
Butlanska, Joanna; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos; Gens Solé, Antonio; O'Sullivan, Catherine (2014-01)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialA virtual calibration chamber was developed using a three-dimensional (3D) discrete element method (DEM) to perform cone penetration tests (CPTs) on a discrete analogue of Ticino sand. The macroscale response of the DEM ... -

Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialA series of self-boring pressuremeter tests performed in Bothkennar clay are simulated using a finite element model of undrained cavity expansion. A bonded elasto plastic soil model is employed to represent Bothkennar clay ... -
