Abstract	When using spherical elements within the Discrete Element Method, computational costs can be kept low even for large numbers of elements. However, this oversimplification of the granular geometry has drawbacks when quantitatively assessing the model even for frictional geomaterials. To overcome this limitation, the local constitutive law must at least take into account the transfer of a moment between elements. This moment, which is added to normal and shear local interaction forces, increases the number of local parameters. Moreover, when local plastic thresholds are considered, the calibration of the model becomes tricky. With such a set of local parameters, a calibration procedure is proposed, which attempts to define the respective role of each parameter in the macroscopic behavior. A series of numerical simulations of triaxial compression tests has been performed to check the capability of this model to get good quantitative results and the incremental behavior of the numerical medium is studied by performing a series of axisymmetric stress probes with varying directions. The corresponding strain responses are measured. From different initial stress states, the results indicate that the incremental response is well described by elastoplasticity with a single mechanism, and a non-associative flow rule.
