M.Sc. Geotechnical Engineering

I'm thrilled to announce that our recent paper, titled "Micro-Macro Assessment of The Pile Bearing Capacity Interaction with Single and Double Voids in Different Soil Densities Using The Discrete Element Method," has been published in ASCE Publishing prestigious International Journal of Geomechanics. In this study, our team explored the impact of soil variability, influenced by environmental changes, on geotechnical considerations. We focused on underground voids, which significantly affect subsoil structures such as piles. Using a two-dimensional Discrete Elements Method (DEM) model, we investigated voids in sandy soil and their effects on pile behavior, particularly bearing capacity and lateral pressure coefficients. Our results reveal that voids can reduce pile bearing capacity by up to 63% in critical zones, mainly due to decreased resistance at the pile's tip. This highlights the crucial importance of understanding void effects for safe subsoil structure design in geotechnical engineering. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the team members, Prof. Alireza Saeedi Azizkandi and Saman Ghaderi, for their exceptional efforts, contributions, and collaboration.

Nice job👏 Which DEM software have been used for the analysis? Is that EDEM?
