Numerical analysis of the failure process of soil–rock mixtures through computed tomography and PFC3D models

Abstract Soil–rock mixture (SRM) is a unique type of geomaterial characterized by a heterogeneous composition and a complicated structure. It is intractable for the continuum-based soil and rock mechanics theories to accurately characterize and predict the SRM’s mechanical properties. This study rep...
