the biaxial test and shear-band evolution of sand are simulated . The macro stress-strain relation of sand is reproduced by PFC model. The variation rules of macro properties of the sand sample with micro parameters
such as particle size and friction coefficient of particle
are studied. The results of sand shear-band in lab test are compared with PFC model
and the efffect of micro parameters
such as particle size
stiffness and friction coefficient
to the formation and extension process of the shear-band is analyzed. It is shown that the mechanism of sand shear-band can be simulated perfectly by PFC model.
