A high-cycle accumulation (HCA) model predicting the accumulation of permanent strain or
excess pore water pressure in clay under a large number of load cycles is presented. Data …

This paper presents an approach for the automatic parameter calibration (AC) of a
hypoplastic constitutive soil model. The calibration software developed in this work simplifies …

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

A novel scheme to apply constitutive (continuum) soil models to the mechanical modelling of
soil‐structure interfaces is presented. Opposite to existing approaches, all normal stress …

The influence of the pile installation by vibratory or impact driving on the response to
subsequent cyclic lateral loading, as faced in the offshore environment, is investigated …

A segment-based mortar contact discretisation technique for the analysis of hydro-
mechanically coupled dynamic processes with quadratically interpolated finite elements and …

Assessment of the seismic slope stability in terms of a factor of safety (FoS) is often
addressed using pseudo-static approaches neglecting material-induced failure and the role …

Deep vibratory compaction (DVC) is an effective ground improvement method for granular
soils in a loose initial state. An efficient numerical approach to simulate the whole process of …

This work presents contributions to the numerical modelling of the installation process and
subsequent high-cyclic loading of piles, such as relevant for pile foundations for offshore …

Analytical approaches to determine the long-term settlement of shallow foundations
subjected to dynamic cyclic loading with a large number of cycles (millions) are presented …
