Discrete element simulations of load transfer mechanisms for a reinforced granular embankment submitted to loading cycles

A discrete element study of a reinforced granular embankment by rigid inclusions, submitted to cyclic loadings is presented. The discrete element method (based on molecular dynamics method) is used to understand the load transfer mechanisms into the granular layer (just above the inclusions) during...
