Abstract A multiscale approach that couples the finite-element method (FEM) and the discrete-element method (DEM) is used to model and analyze the earthquake fault rupture–soil–foundation interaction (FR–SFI) problem. The approach obtains the soil constitutive responses from the DEM solutions of representative volume elements (RVEs) embedded at the FEM integration points, effectively bypassing the phenomenological hypotheses in conventional FEM simulations.
