Deformation coordination and stress analysis of slopes with concrete toe and flexible facing slab using FDEM
This study investigates a novel slope support system comprising a concrete toe and a flexible facing slab, characterized by soil–structure interaction and deformation coordination. Using the finite-discrete element method (FDEM), a mechanical framework accounting for continuous–discontinuous deformation conversion is...
