In this study, saline soil parameters were calibrated based on EDEM discrete element method, soil density, soil elastic modulus, soil shear modulus, soil particle size distribution and Poisson's ratio were determined. The Hertz-Mindlin with Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) model was used to simulate the characteristics of soil stress and strain of particles under external forces. The JKR contact parameter between saline soil particles was used as a test factor, and the soil accumulation angle was used as a test index to carry out the saline soil contact parameter calibration test. It was finally determined that an elastic recovery coefficient of 0.262, a static friction coefficient of 0.263, a dynamic friction coefficient of 0.234, and a JRK surface energy of 10.084 were the optimal combinations of contact parameters for saline soils.
