A numerical modeling of Self-Compacting Mortar (SCM) flow, based on the 3D Discrete Element Method (DEM), was presented in this paper. SCM was modeled as a set of spherical elements and the shear strength and damping coefficient between mortar elements were proposed as DEM parameters, which modeled the yield stress and the plastic viscosity of SCM, respectively. After setting up appropriate set of parameters, SCM with different properties can be successfully simulated, and the feasibility of the simulation was validated by the observed different types of SCM flows. |
