GRANULAR ASSEMBLY SIMULATION WITH CUNDALL's MODEL FOR THE DYNAMIC COLLAPSE OF THE STRUCTURAL FOUNDATION

Abstract

Dynamic collapse analysis of two types of structural foundation, deep and shallow, are performed by particle assemblies simulation with Cundall's model.
Nonlinear responses of the structural foundations by the horizontal force are obtained. Relationships between applied force and deformation with hysteresis and such phenomena as dilatancy and settlement of the particle assemblies ground are found not to be expected in the analysis of continuous media. A size of the ground model is of 3400 particles.
