A DEM investigation of the shearing behaviour of non-active clays

This paper presents the numerical DEM simulation of shear tests on two-dimensional clay-like specimens. Clay particles are modelled as rod-shaped elements made of spherical elementary units. The contact laws implemented in the adopted DEM framework account for both the mechanical interaction develop...
