The performance of three advanced constitutive models has been evaluated based on
element tests and on a comparative study on the simulation of vibratory pile driving tests in …

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 …

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 …

The high‐cycle accumulation (HCA) model by Niemunis et al. allows the prediction of the
mechanical response of sand under millions of load cycles. It has originally been developed …

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 …

Rigid inclusion reinforcements of embankments are increasingly used in traffic route
engineering to ensure the long-term system sustainability and to enhance the soft subsoils …

The penetration of deep foundations into sand is a classic geotechnical engineering
problem that carries not yet fully understood aspects of the soil-pile interaction. The …
