DEM Simulation Based on Experimental Testing

The paper examines several key aspects of soil morphology, namely experimental and numerical test validation and compression test result dependency on changing morphology parameters. The present chapter describes investigation of soil morpholo‐ gy parameters influence for numerical compression properties with evaluation of examined sand engineering geological conditions. The main objects of research: morphology parameters investigation with view analysis program and scanning electronic microscope; experimental soil compression testing; numerical soil compres‐ sion simulation and results validation with experimental ones. The primary purpose of this paper is therefore to investigate the influence of morphology parameters on sand mechanical properties and to determine optimal quantity of spheres for single‐particle shape subscription.
