Summary
For weathered broken rock materials the resistance of particles against abrasion and breakage is strongly influenced by their moisture content. The focus of the present paper is on the constitutive modeling of the mechanical behaviour of weathered granular materials under dry and wet conditions using a moisture dependent granular hardness. It will be shown that the results obtained from numerical simulations of element tests are in a good agreement with laboratory experiments carried out with weathered granite.
