Determination of Parameters of the Discrete Element Bond Model for Asphalt Mixture Based on Splitting Test

A discrete element method (DEM) has widely been used to simulate asphalt mixture characteristics, and DEM models can consider the effect of aggregate gradation and interaction between particles. However, proper selection of model parameters is crucial to obtain convincing results from DEM-based simu...
