Many problems in geotechnical engineering involve large movements or rotations,
examples include natural processes such as landslides, and man-made processes such as …

Geotechnical applications often involve large displacements of structural elements, such as
penetrometers or footings, in soil. Three numerical analysis approaches capable of …

Large deformation finite element (LDFE) analysis is being applied increasingly in
geomechanics as it allows numerical interpretation of problems in which the structural …

Plate anchors are frequently used to provide resistance against uplift forces. This paper
describes the reinforcing effects of a geocell-reinforced soil layer on uplift behavior of anchor …

This book provides a comprehensive guide for the analysis and design of anchor systems
used for mooring offshore floating structures. Much of the experience is based on …

Roughly 60% of potentially exploitable offshore wind power is located beyond the range of
water depths suitable for fixed foundations, where floating offshore wind towers (FOWTs) …

The pull-out capacity of plate anchor is significantly impacted by the embedment loss during
keying, necessitating its prior estimation. The soil surrounding the anchor undergoes …

This paper proposes an analytical approach to evaluate the ultimate embedment depth and
holding capacity that plate anchors can potentially achieve. Based on a plasticity model for …

Natural soils often exhibit significant spatial variability due to their geological history of soil
formation. As an attractive anchoring solution for floating offshore structures, this paper has …

This paper reports advanced three-dimensional large-deformation finite element analyses
investigating the effect of the padeye offset on the behaviour of plate anchors. The analyses …
