The article presents the first discrete element method (DEM) simulations of dynamic compaction in the Proctor test. The aim of the simulations was to analyze the influence of particle breakage on the density of intensely compacted granular assembly. Results from simulations and laboratory tests were compared. Simulations with non-breakable aggregates enabled separation of the influence of change in particle size distribution and particle rearrangement. Both factors play an essential role in increasing the bulk density of the sample in the case of the tested (gap-graded) aggregate. Simulations with breakable particles reproduce the laboratory tests results better, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The conclusions provide a better understanding of the aggregate compaction process, which is crucial for developing novel compaction strategies and minimizing the environmental impact of the construction process.

W artykule przedstawiono pierwszą przeprowadzoną metodą elementów dyskretnych (DEM) symulację dynamicznego zagęszczania w badaniu Proctora. Celem wykonanych symulacji było znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jaki sposób, w jaki sposób pękanie ziaren wpływa na gęstość intensywnie zagęszczanej próbki materiału ziarnistego. Porównano wyniki symulacji i badań laboratoryjnych. Symulacje z ziarnami niełamliwymi pozwoliły na wyodrębnienie wpływu zmiany rozkładu wielkości ziaren i wzajemnego ich przemieszczania. Obydwa czynniki odgrywają zasadniczą rolę w zwiększaniu gęstości objętościowej próbki w przypadku badanego kruszywa o nieciągłym uziarnieniu. Symulacje z ziarnami łamliwymi lepiej odtwarzają badanie laboratoryjne pod względem jakościowym i ilościowym. Wnioski pozwalają na lepsze zrozumienie procesu zagęszczania kruszywa, co ma kluczowe znaczenie dla opracowania nowatorskich strategii zagęszczania i minimalizacji wpływu procesów budowlanych na środowisko.
