How to do model bearing capacity of soil

You could use Terzaghi's theory for bearing capacity :-)

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_capacity#Terzaghi's_Bearing_Capacity_Theory

Yes . I use terzaghi’s theory .Can. you building model bearing ?

I am sorry, I do not understand what you are asking. Can you please rephrase your question?

I want to make a model bearing capacity of soil . But I can’t resize the pressure wall. I want to resize the pressed wall, what to do?

This is my code#######

from yade import pack

sp=pack.SpherePack()
## corners of the initial packing
mn,mx=Vector3(0,0,0),Vector3(10,10,10)

## box size, radius, number of ball
sp.makeCloud(minCorner=mn,maxCorner=mx,rRelFuzz=.1,num=1500)

## create material #0, which will be used as default
O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=15000000,poisson=.4,frictionAngle=radians(30),density=2600,label='spheres'))
O.materials.append(FrictMat(young=15000000,poisson=.4,frictionAngle=0,density=0,label='frictionless'))

## copy spheres from the packing into the scene
## use default material, don't care about that for now
O.bodies.append([sphere(center,rad,material='spheres') for center,rad in sp])
## create walls around the packing
walls=aabbWalls(thickness=1e-10,material='frictionless')
wallIds=O.bodies.append(walls)
# wall of each side
triax=TriaxialCompressionEngine(
 wall_bottom_id=wallIds[2],
 wall_top_id=wallIds[2],
 wall_left_id=wallIds[0],
 wall_right_id=wallIds[2],
 wall_back_id=wallIds[2],
 wall_front_id=wallIds[2],
 internalCompaction=False,

 sigmaIsoCompaction=-50000,
 sigmaLateralConfinement=-50000,
 max_vel=10,
 strainRate=0.01,
 label="triax"
)

O.engines=[
 ForceResetter(),
 InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(),Bo1_Box_Aabb()]),
 InteractionLoop(
  [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom(),Ig2_Box_Sphere_ScGeom()],
  [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
  [Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]
 ),
 GlobalStiffnessTimeStepper(active=1,timeStepUpdateInterval=100,timestepSafetyCoefficient=0.8),
 triax,

 NewtonIntegrator(damping=.4)
]

from yade import plot
O.engines=O.engines[0:5]+[PyRunner(iterPeriod=20,command='history()',label='recorder')]+O.engines[5:7]
def history():
 plot.addData(e11=-triax.strain[0], e22=-triax.strain[1], e33=-triax.strain[2],
  s11=-triax.stress(0)[0],
  s22=-triax.stress(2)[1],
  s33=-triax.stress(4)[2],
  i=O.iter)

plot.plots={'i': ('e11','e22','e33',None,'s11','s22','s33')}

O.saveTmp()
plot.plot()

>But I can’t resize the pressure wall. I want to resize the pressed wall, what to do?

What is the pressure/pressed wall? It would help to understand if you mention the methods you have already tried. (e.g. I tried to change _insert command here_ but I see that it doesn't change the size).

I think maybe you want to use facets [1] to model the application of weight, but I am still a bit unsure what you are asking.

[1]https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.geom.html

 I want to make a model of soil weight bearing. Which the pressure that I use is needed as a square of various sizes.
but my code is not scalable. What should I do?

Hello,

> What should I do?

help us to help you :-)
If you expect a help from us, you should try to formulate your problem both shortly but at the same time as specifically as possible. Also read [2].
It may happen that the formulation is not complete or too vague (like your description here). Then you should provide required information. E.g. answer:
- What is the pressure/pressed wall? (Robert's question)
- it would help to understand if you mention the methods you have already tried (Robert's info request)
- have you tried [1]? if yes, why is did not help?

Some other notes:

> I want to make a model of soil weight bearing.

yes, this is clear form the original post, you do not need to repeat this, rather focus on the information that are missing.

> But I can’t resize the pressure wall.

Yade wall is an infinite plate, is cannot be resized. Use a different type of a boundary (as already proposed by Robert), e.g. facet or box.

ok sir, so i saw your video that you make" rod pressure soil" .I really want to make a pressure that you make . i try to use that code for my model but it is not working.i can not understand a code that you make and trying to run a code. it does not work too.can you please help me to make a pressure for my model. this is my model

if you don't understand that the meaning that i try to say please tell me . my English is not good . thank you

> i saw your video that you make" rod pressure soil"

please provide a link

> but it is not working.

please be more specific. If it gives errors, provide the errors. If the results are not as expected, describe actual and expected results....

> i can not understand a code that you make

please provide the code (if you want help to understand it)

cheers

thank for helping me

Some notes:
- define material prior to creating bodies
- use box [1] for simple geometries instead of facets

a MWE:
###
from yade import pack

this is what i need thank you so much.

But i got a little bit problem. Some particles at the mid-bottom and a box of facet are got through the box. Is there anyway i can fix it?

here is video:

thanks jan . you are the best

Thanks Jan Stránský, that solved my question.

Dear jan ,

I appreciate the things you do so much indeed. So now the top box drop down with velocity that set up, I would like to know that can the top box drop down by force.and How to change it ?

O.forces.setPermF(top.id,forceVector) # [1]
or for older Yade versions
O.forces.addF(top.id,forceVector) # if I remember correctly

cheers
Jan
