Behaviour of granular matter under gravity-induced stress gradient: A two-dimensional numerical investigation

Gravity is the most important load source in mining and geotechnical engineering, which causes both the stress level and stress gradient inside geomaterials. Different from the stress level, the influence of gravity-induced stress gradient on the behaviour of the material is still unknown. An in-dee...
