Marine embankment slide and reinforcement simulation based on discrete numerical method

Abstract

Hybird discrete numerical methods inclusive of DEM and XFEM were developed in the study to simulate the marine embankment slide in Zhejiang coast. The study derived the comprehensive fields that included the displacement, stress, internal forces and reliality factor. Therefore, the typical marine embankment slide simulation and reinforcement effect evaluation were completed. The methods and results were helpful for the marine embankment cases.
