4. DEM Modelling of Unbound Granular Materials for Transport Infrastructures : On soil fabric and rockfill embankments
Sammanfattning : Unbound granular materials (UGM) are widely used as load-bearing layers and for embankment construction within transport infrastructures. These play a significant role on operation and maintenance of transportation systems. However, pavement and railway engineering still today rely heavily on empirical models based on macroscopic observations. LÄS MER
5. Media Technologies in the Making : User-driven Software and Infrastructures for Computer Graphics Production
