Discrete Element Numerical Simulation of the Effect of River Ice Porosity on Impact Force at Bridge Abutments

In spring, the river ice melts to a certain extent and cracks to form drift ice and impact force on the bridge abutments; the river ice, due to the impact of ablation, has an internal formation of different porosities, and the level of porosity affects the mechanical properties of the river ice, so...
