This practical guide provides the best introduction to large deformation material point
method (MPM) simulations for geotechnical engineering. It provides the basic theory …

The installation of displacement piles in sand leads to severe changes in the stress state,
density and soil properties around the pile tip and shaft, and therefore has a significant …

The installation-induced changes in the state of clayey soils caused by pile driving
processes are investigated numerically. Hydro-mechanically coupled Coupled-Eulerian …

Although the random heterogeneity of a clayey seabed has been long recognised, it is
relatively recently that the influence of spatial variability on the spudcan foundation has been …

Screw anchors have been recognised as an innovative solution to support offshore jacket
structures and floating systems, due to their low-noise installation and potential enhanced …

The installation effect of a jacked pile in silica sand is investigated numerically. A simplified
state-dependent dilatancy model is used to model the sand behavior and the sand grain …

Pile foundations are constructed using a variety of installation methods, which can
significantly influence their behavior under axial loading. In this study, numerical simulations …

In this study, installation of jacked piles in sand is simulated using Press-Replace Method
(PRM) and Material Point Method (MPM) and the results are compared together. This …

In this paper, a small strain numerical procedure, the press-replace method (PRM), is
adopted to model the monotonic, quasi-static installation of a jacked-in pile under an …

This work examined a new method of bi-directional static load testing for piles, referencing
the Osterberg test. Measurements were taken, on a laboratory scale, using six models of …
