The use of rubber-sand mixture (RSM) cushion in geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI)
systems is an emerging technique for protecting buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The …

A CT image-based discrete element model (DEM) incorporating the realistic particle
morphology of sand grains was developed to investigate the micro-mechanical behaviours …

Replacing natural aggregates in concrete with waste rubber particles is an effective method
to solve environmental problems, but the use of rubber due to its unknown characteristics …

Abstract Rubber–soil mixtures (RSM), formed by mixing two types of granules with vastly
different mechanical properties, has the potential for serving as a cost-effective substitute for …

The mechanical properties of rubber-sand mixtures are influenced by the ratio of rubber-
sand particle sizes and the rubber content. Rubber-sand mixtures used as roadbed fillers …

A rubber–sand mixture (RSM) can be used as a novel type of geotechnical material in
reinforced roadbeds and other projects owing to its being elastic and environment friendly …

Quantifying the response of infill used to construct contemporary artificial turf is critical to the
development of computational models and providing insights to reduce sports injury …

Sand-tyre chips (STCh) mixtures are emerging civil engineering materials that have been
widely studied and applied. In the sand-tyre chips system, the mechanical behavior of sand …

This work developed a discrete element model to adaptively capture the transitional
micromechanical response and failure mode of adhesive joints with dissimilar adherend …

To study the shear characteristics of rubber–sand mixtures, the effects of four rubber–sand
mixture gradations (one type of gap gradation, two types of continuous gradations, and one …
