DEM-Based Computational Lab for Geotechnical Engineering Education
This paper examines the potential of the discrete element method (DEM) for providing a computational lab that can be utilized to enhance geotechnical engineering education. Application of DEM requires only knowledge of basic mechanics and very little programming skills. Therefore, DEM-based simulations can be used effectively to provide a computational version of a number of basic geotechnical experiments such as sieve analysis, direct shear test, drained and undrained triaxial tests, and constant head permeability test in conjunction with traditional physical experiments. The use of this tool motivates students to understand the underlying mechanism of these tests and associated soil response. Implementation of these numerical experiments can vary from being just in the form of a visual presentation by the instructor to an assignment given to students where they are asked to conduct the simulation. A more advanced utilization of DEM-based simulations may be further implemented in graduate courses.
