Based on the discrete element method for unsaturated materials proposed by the author, the PFC3D (Particle Flow Code in Three Dimensions) particle flow discrete element analysis program is improved, and a discrete element model suitable for both clay and sand under uniaxial tension is established. The relationship between uniaxial tensile stress and displacement and uniaxial tensile strength are studied. The influence of different microstructure parameters on the tensile failure of soil is explored, and the relationship between saturation and cohesive strength between particles is established by taking uniaxial tensile strength as a bridge. The uniaxial tensile test of clay and sand with different initial void ratio and saturation is studied, and the tensile properties of unsaturated soil and the applicability of discrete element model and program to simulate unsaturated soil are deeply studied. The results show that:among the five microstructure parameters of normal bond strength, shear bond strength, Young's modulus, stiffness ratio and friction coefficient, the influence of normal bond strength on uniaxial tensile simulation is the largest, followed by shear bond strength, Young's modulus and stiffness ratio, and the friction coefficient has the least influence; the uniaxial tensile strength of clay increases at first and then decreases with the increase of saturation. The results show that the increase rate of uniaxial tensile strength on the left side (dry side) is greater than that on the right side (wet side); the uniaxial tensile strength of sand shows a "increase-decrease-increase" rule with the increase of saturation; the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results, which verifies the applicability of the discrete element model and the numerical analysis program in the simulation of uniaxial tensile properties of unsaturated materials.
