Investigating the Influence of Micro-scale Heterogeneity and Microstructure on the Failure and Mechanical Behaviour of Geomaterials
The mechanical response of geomaterials is highly influenced by geometrical and material heterogeneity. To date, most modelling practices consider heterogeneity qualitatively and the choice of input parameters can be subjective. In this study, a novel approach to combine detailed micro-scale charact...
