Abstract

Abstract

The Distinct Element Method(DEM) is a discontinuum-based numerical method especially applicable to solve the discontinuity problems in jointed rock mass. Firstly the fundamentals of DEM are introduced, and then its applications in geo-technical engineering are surnmarzied emphatically, and finally the development trends of DEM are discussed.
