Distinct element method simulations of rock-concrete interfaces under different boundary conditions
J.G. Gutiérrez-Ch, S. Senent, S. Melentijevic, R. Jimenez Abstract The shear behaviour of concrete-rock interfaces has been the aim of extensive research in geotechnical engineering applications such as rock socketed piles, rock bolts and concrete dam arch bridge foundations. Several experimental studies through direct shear tests have been conducted to evaluate the shear behaviour of rock-concrete interfaces under CNL (Constant Normal Load) and […]
