One dimensional compression behavior of poorly graded soils and their mixtures have been investigated using the discrete element method PFC3D software package with spherical particles and a size-related linear elastic contact model. Simulation results show that, for soil samples of the same grading that were compressed from different initial solid fractions, there exists a unique relationship between solid fraction and vertical stress at high stress levels. Contact force distributions of these different samples fall on a similar distribution curve in the same stress range. There is also a convergence for the size distributions of particles involved in the transmission of greater-than-average (strong) contact forces in each system. The results are mainly presented for a sand-like monodisperse material and a best packing efficiency mixture material. Cumulative contributions of individual contact forces to the deviator stress were calculated and the results show that the deviator stress is primarily attribut...
