Discrete element modelling of idealised asphalt mixture

This thesis investigates the use of Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) to simulate the behaviour of a highly idealised bituminous mixture under uniaxial and triaxial compressive creep tests. The idealised mixture comprises single-sized spherical (sand-sized) particles mixed with bitumen and was chosen...
