Results

1. In the displacement, the values are decreasing as the relative density(Dr) is increasing.
2. In the contact forces between the beam elements(2D), all are following similar pattern
after initial state analysis and final excavated analysis.
3. After initial state analysis and final excavated analysis, the forces in x direction is
always more than that of y direction.
4. The range of forces in x direction have decreased element wise after final excavated
analysis with respect to initial state analysis. Similarly, the range of forces in y
direction have increased element wise after final excavated analysis with respect to
initial state analysis.
5. The pattern of normal forces element wise in x and y direction and moment about z
direction are similar to the original soil used as reference.
6. The range of values of normal forces in the x direction is more than that of forces in y
direction.
7. The pattern of reaction forces (from Master force file) element wise in x and y
direction and moment (from Master force file) about z direction are similar to the
original soil used as reference.
8. The range of values of reaction forces in the x direction is more than that of forces in
y direction as expected.
9. The range of reaction moments about z direction and reaction forces in x direction are
decreasing as the relative density is increasing; in the y direction there is no such
regular pattern is followed.
