Landslide is a uniquely dynamic large-deformation process that can present serious threat
to human lives and infrastructures. The natural soil properties often exhibit inherent spatial …

This paper reports the development of a particle breakage model within a finite-element (FE)
framework based on the modified Mohr–Coulomb model (MMC). A modified form of the …

Model Uncertainties in Foundation Design is unique in the compilation of the largest and the
most diverse load test databases to date, covering many foundation types (shallow …

Prediction is one of the core activities in geotechnical engineering. Because of our limited
knowledge of ground conditions and the imperfection of predictive models, the resulting …

Displacement piles are driven to support a wide range of structures. Predicting their axial
limiting capacities and load-displacement behavior is critical to many such engineering …

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a non-contact-based, full-field measurement, cost-effective,
and efficient image-based deformation measurement technique used in various disciplines …

This paper reports the behaviour of caisson anchors under vertical-horizontal (VH) loadings
in medium dense to dense sand. The three dimensional finite element (3D-FE) analyses are …

Despite the high cost-effective potential of using suction caisson anchors for mooring
floating facilities for harvesting various marine resources, it is not being considered in sites …

Accurately predict the resistance of caisson penetrating in stratified soil deposits is an
engineering challenge for application of such foundation system. This paper performs large …

Plate anchors have been widely regarded as one of the most efficiency solutions for offshore
structures in deep sea. Most of previous studies focus on the vertical or horizontal plate …
