The theme of ICADD-10 is to summarise the progress of discontinuous numerical methods in the past decades and to advance toward the future development and application of discontinuous methods in geomechanics and geoengineering. The technical presentation will cover a wide scope of discontinuous numerical methods from algorithms and mechanics, to modelling techniques and application, including, but not limited to the following topics:
- Key Block Theory and Engineering Applications
- Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) Method
- Numerical Manifold Method (NMM)
- Distinct/Discrete Element Method (DEM) & Meshless Method
- Other Advanced Analytical and Numerical Methods
- Coupling of Discontinuum and Continuum Methods
- Practical numerical simulations in engineering
- Practical numerical simulations in disaster prevention
- Experiment and Measurement of Discontinuous Deformation
- Case Studies of Engineering Projects
- Numerical analysis in disaster Prevention
