Can I simulate pervious concrete in EDEM?

I would like to simulate compressive strength test of pervious concrete in EDEM? Is it possible?

Hi Namithasudan,

You can simulate the fracture of cementitious materials such as cured concrete in uniaxial compresison or otherwise by using a bonded particle model. A model speciffically developed for this purpose is described by Brown et al and available as an EDEM plug-in model.
