We present a combination of the Finite Element Method (FEM), the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM), and the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for modeling and analyzing the failure of reinforced concrete structures under impulsive wave forces originating from free-surface flows in critical water hazards. The free-surface water flow is modeled with the PFEM, while the structural behavior and the fractures induced by the water forces in the structure are modeled with a coupled FEM–DEM technique. The concrete material behavior is simulated with a standard isotropic damage model. The reinforcing bars are modeled by a rule of mixtures procedure, for simplicity. The possibilities of the new integrated PDFEM approach for predicting the evolution of free-surface tsunami-type waves and their devastating effect on constructions are validated with experiments on the failure of reinforced concrete plates under large impacting waves, performed in a laboratory facility in Japan. | We present a combination of the Finite Element Method (FEM), the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM), and the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for modeling and analyzing the failure of reinforced concrete structures under impulsive wave forces originating from free-surface flows in critical water hazards.

Abstract
We present a combination of the Finite Element Method (FEM), the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM), and the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for modeling and analyzing the failure of reinforced concrete structures under impulsive wave forces originating from free-surface flows in critical water hazards. The free-surface water flow is modeled with the PFEM, while the structural behavior and the fractures induced by the water forces in the structure are modeled with a coupled FEM–DEM technique. The concrete material behavior is simulated with a standard isotropic damage model. The reinforcing bars are modeled by a rule of mixtures procedure, for simplicity. The possibilities of the new integrated PDFEM approach for predicting the evolution of free-surface tsunami-type waves and their devastating effect on constructions are validated with experiments on the failure of reinforced concrete plates under large impacting waves, performed in a laboratory facility in Japan.
