Numerical simulation demonstrates that DEM has its advantages over other numerical methods in computing the FOS, determining slip surface of jointed rock slope and considering the influences of flow in fractured network on the stability of rock slope.

• 数值结果说明,与其它数值方法相比,离散元方法在计算节理岩质边坡的安全系数、确定边坡滑动面位置和考虑裂隙渗流对边坡稳定的影响分析方面具有较大的优势。
