Abstract
![CDATA[This study aims to analyse the effect of soil particle cohesion on landslides using the discrete element method (DEM). Four cases with different values of particle cohesion are considered. The Hertz-Mindlin contact model is used to simulate dry particles where the cohesion is zero, while the Hertz-Mindlin with JKR model is used to simulate the systems with cohesive particles. Three important properties of landslides, including the angle of the landslide, particle velocity and interaction forces among particles, are examined. The results show that for higher surface energy, the angle of the landslide is higher, and a longer time is needed for the particles to reach a static state. Higher surface energy would also cause greater forces among soil and gravel particles, which can allow the connection between the particles to be tighter.]]
