This book presents the latest advances in Discrete Element Methods (DEM) and technology. It is the proceeding of 7th International Conference on DEM which was held at Dalian University of Technology on August 1 - 4, 2016. The subject of this book are the DEM and related computational techniques such as DDA, FEM/DEM, molecular dynamics, SPH, Meshless methods, etc., which are the main computational methods for modeling discontinua. In comparison to continua which have been already studied for a long time, the research of discontinua is relatively new, but increases dramatically in recent years and has already become an important field. This book will benefit researchers and scientists from the academic fields of physics, engineering and applied mathematics, as well as from industry and national laboratories who are interested in the DEM.

The objectives of this research are to establish a resilient modulus test results database and to develop correlations for estimating the resilient modulus of Wisconsin fine-grained soils from basic soil properties. A laboratory testing program was conducted on representative Wisconsin fine-grained soils to evaluate their physical and compaction properties. The resilient modulus of the investigated soils was determined from the repeated load triaxial (RLT) test following the AASHTO T307 procedure. The laboratory testing program produced a high-quality and consistent test results database.
