The micro-mechanical behavior at the bonded interface is crucial in determining the macroscopic strength of cement-stabilized sand. This study presents a comprehensive discrete element simulation model for cement-stabilized sand, which incorporates two types of particles, three types of contacts, and five types of load-bearing elements. Three key micro-parameters are derived from test data obtained from sand particles (SP), cementitious particles (CP) and cement-stabilized organic-matter-disseminated sand (OMDS) sourced from Hainan Island, thereby validating the reliability of the model through strain-stress relations and deformation characteristics. By simulating static and cyclic triaxial tests on cement-stabilized OMDS, this research investigates the evolution of bonded contact degradation, load-bearing capacity, stress contributions, and deviator fabric while clarifying the correlation between macro- and micro-mechanical behaviors. The results indicate that an increase in confining pressure accelerates occurrence of bonded contact degradation, as well as enhances responsiveness under cyclic loading compared to static loading. The degradation ratio of C-C (CP-CP) contacts is observed to be faster than that of S-C (SP-CP) contacts at a specific confining pressure. Under static loading conditions, the contributions from all three types of contact to overall strength remain constant. A significant linear relationship has been identified between the deviator fabric of S-S contacts and the generalized shear stress ratio. Additionally, it has been observed that the early macro-strength of cement-stabilized OMDS is closely associated with the anisotropy inherent within the S-S skeleton.
