Popis: The paper presents FE simulation of shear localization along the interface between cohesionless granular soil layer and a rough surface of bounding structure under large shearing movement. The distribution and evolution of static and kinematic quantities are mainly focused regarding infinite layer of micro-polar material under constant vertical pressure and free dilatancy, particularly with advanced large movement of bounding structure. The FE results demonstrate that the displacement magnitude of bounding structure has significant effect on the distribution and evolution of state variables and polar quantities in the granular soil layer.
