Abstract:

Granular materials are prevalent in the world at macro and micro scales, from the macro-scale of construction materials to the micro-scale of chemical powders. The properties of assemblages of grains are heavily controlled by the interparticle contacts. In order to assist with the better understanding of the means by which granular assemblages behave, this thesis seeks to develop understanding of the number, type and geometrical distribution of the contact points between individual grains.

Abstract:

Visual effects for film and animation often require simulated granular materials, such as sand, wheat, or dirt, to meet a director's needs. Simulating granular materials can be time consuming, in both computation and labor, as these particulate materials have complex behavior and an enormous amount of small-scale detail. Furthermore, a single cubic meter of granular material, where each grain is a cubic millimeter, would contain a billion granules, and simulating all such interacting granules would take an impractical amount of time for productions. This calls for a simplified model for granul

Abstract:

Granular materials utilised in the construction of highway foundation layers are currently specified on the basis of index tests. As a consequence, the material acceptability criteria, although developed from many years' experience, do not directly measure a fundamental performance parameter. Once the granular materials are placed and compacted they are rarely checked and as such no assurance can be given to their likely engineering performance in situ. An important performance parameter, the stiffness modulus, describes the ability of the constructed layer(s) to spread the construction (and i

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Compaction is one of the key processes in the construction of road pavement layers. Not only is it significant in ensuring the structural integrity of the material in the road layers, but it also has an influence on the engineering properties and performance of the soil material. A poorly compacted material is characterised by low density, high porosity and below standard shear strength. This, as a result causes rutting, moisture susceptibility, potholing, corrugations and passability problems on the road. Therefore, it

Abstract:

The behaviour of granular materials is complex. Unlike all other engineering materials their volume change does not only depend upon an applied mean stress, but also on the change in shape of the body. This complexity in the behaviour makes it difficult to develop useful constitutive equations which describe the behaviour. Many constitutive models exist for granular materials. Using an established approach new models, suitable for simulating small cyclic strains, are presented within this thesis. The basis for these models is a new dilatancy rule. By setting the volume strain proportional to t

Ces instabilités apparaissent spontanément à des contraintes effectives de confinement imprévisibles.

Abstract:

The peoples demand of functions and services in cities is the driver for energy and material flows. Most people in the world are now living in urban areas. In order to achieve a sustainable development of cities, both resource use and environmental impact have to be reduced. For construction activities, an important aspect is to increase the reuse of construction materials. From a resource perspective, the urban demand for construction of buildings, infrastructure and other facilities results in materials accumulated in constructions but also in other applications and in landfills.

The postulate that the constant volume friction angle Φ[sub cv] of a granular material is unique is verified experimentally. The constant volume friction angle of a wide spectrum of granular granular materials is measured using the ring shear device, enabling the material to be sheared to large, in fact unlimited strains at which 0cv is mobilized. Granular materials tested were composed of particles ranging from minerals to metals. The effects of confining pressure, initial packing density, particle size, gradation and particle shape on the value of Φ[sub cv] are studied. The possible influenc

Abstract:

This Thesis explores the mechanisms controlling the mobility of large objects embedded in granular materials. The goal is to establish which loading conditions lead to their motion and to identify the underlying physical mechanisms. To this aim, laboratory experiments were conducted using a canonical mobility test, which involves uplifting a plate embedded in a dry granular packing vertically. The experimental conditions were varied in order to evidence the effect of the presence of water in the granular packing, and the effect of dynamic loadings whereby the plate is moved at different veloci

Drivers for sustainability have made it necessary for the construction industry to adapt its traditional processes to become both more efficient and produce less waste. Performance based design and specification in the UK for motorways and trunk roads permits a very flexible approach to pavement design, material selection and performance related testing aimed at utilising materials to their maximum potential. However, it is clear that within the emerging philosophy of using materials that are 'fit for purpose' there are many technical challenges for design and specification. There is a need to

Fracture mechanisms are quantitatively analysed in terms of energy dissipation during high speed grain fracture and fragmentation process. Furthermore, the effects of bo

However, the effect of this scale on the engineering response has lacked a systematic description and is rarely acknowledged in the models portraying their behaviour.

This work addresses the way in which a viscoelastic granular medium dissipates vibration energy over broad ranges of frequency, amplitude and direction of excitation. The viscoelastic properties (modulus and loss factor) of polymer particles are obtained experimentally both by deriving the master curve of the material and by measuring the stiffness of these spherical particles at different frequencies using a test rig designed for this purpose. Three dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) is used to develop a numerical model of the granular medium and is validated by comparison with experim

Abstract:

The injection technique based on cement mixtures had a constant evolution since its first application in 1802 by Bérigny for the rehabilitation of masonry diving. Later it was implemented in France and England in the mid-1800s, but by the twentieth century it has started to spread and to globalize the method for applications related to the ground treatment. Initially it was used for the construction of hydraulic works mainly by injecting unstable cement suspensions, with which they could only deal fissured rocks and were therefore excluded granular soils. Then techniques moved to stable cement
