Grains used in various engineering fields often have very irregular shape, and this grain shape greatly affects the mechanical behavior of their assembly. In order to simulate shear behavior of such granular materials quantitatively an image-based Discrete Element modeling has been proposed (Matsushima and Saomoto 2002). This paper focuses on the 3-D version of the modeling and its effectivity check. The material modeled is Toyoura sand (a standard sand in Japan) whose 3-D grain shape data were obtained with a micro X-ray CT at SPring-8 (Matsushima et al. 2004a). They are directly converted into Discrete Element models, and the accuracy of the model is discussed with two error indices. Then various "virtual" specimens with dif- ferent void ratios are prepared and a series of simple shear tests are performed under (1) constant confining pressure and (2) constant volume. The results are basically in good agreement with experimental data, which proves the effectivity of the present grain shape modeling.
