This paper proposes a modified Hybrid Finite-Element Material-Point Method (HFEMPM) for analyzing reinforced slopes. The method discretizes the soil using material points, and employs bar elements in the finite-element method to represent geosynthetics that can only withstand tensile loads. The inte...
