The invention relates to a method for calculating micro-mechanical parameters of reinforced
tailings based on PFC discrete elements. The method comprises the following specific steps: obtaining macromechanical parameters through a
geogrid and tailing sand indoor
direct shear test; by utilizing PFC discrete element
software, establishing a
direct shear test numerical model, determining an overlying load by adjusting
servo confining pressure in the model, and before the
direct shear test of the model is started, substituting
macro mechanical parameters such as peak
shear stress intensity, density, apparent cohesive force, an
internal friction angle and a
friction coefficient calculated by the test into a command; and, after the program is started and the operation is completed, obtaining the numerical values of the normal stiffness and the
tangential stiffness of the mesomechanics parameters in the model shear test process. The method has the advantages that: macroscopic mechanical parameters are obtained through indoor tests, mesoscopic mechanical parameters can be obtained through numerical
simulation calculation, a macroscopic and mesoscopic parameter relevance calculation method is improved, calculation efficiency is higher, results are more accurate, important mesoscopic mechanical parameter indexes can be provided for safety and stability calculation of the reinforced tailing fill dam, and the contact state of the
tailings particles is clearly described in numerical
simulation, so that a numerical
simulation result is closer to an actual working condition.
