Constitutive models that are able to accurately predict cyclic soil behaviour are crucial for
finite element design of offshore foundation or railway embankments. Basic hypoplastic …

This article presents a critical discussion of the repercussion of overshooting effects on
element tests and finite-element simulations. For exemplification purposes, three advanced …

The numerical simulation of boundary value problems involving a high number of pile-type
structures, such as pile foundation systems of high-rise buildings, represents a standard task …

Harsh offshore conditions impose significant challenges to the design of floating offshore
wind turbines (FOWTs). In particular anchoring systems face many uncertainties due to the …

Due to their ability to analyse the behaviour of slender structures with reasonable accuracy
and moderate computational expense, embedded finite elements have attracted widespread …

A critical investigation of three constitutive models for clay by means of analyses of a
sophisticated laboratory testing program and of centrifuge tests on monopiles in clay …

Loosely deposited granular soils can be strengthened through cyclic loading, with
vibrocompaction being a widely used and effective method. However, the lack of rational …

In this study, constitutive behavior of granular soils is modeled through a generalized
plasticity-based theoretical framework. The soil hardening is addressed by a novel …

The paper ventures an outlook on possible developments in research in the fields of Soil
Mechanics and Soil Dynamics within the next five to ten years, based on the current state-of …

Das Bauen auf bindigen Böden stellt trotz fortgeschrittener Ausführungstechnologien immer
noch eine Herausforderung dar. Vor allem sind die Werkzeuge zur Prognostizierung der …
