Results of a centrifuge experiment simulating seismic site response in a layered level
liquefiable soil profile are used to evaluate and systematically compare the predictive …

The theory of zero purely elastic range in stress space within the framework of bounding
surface plasticity is applied to sand constitutive modelling. The yield surface shrinks to zero …

Monopile has been the most widespread foundation type for Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs)
in shallow waters. Caisson (skirted) foundations have also been evaluated in some projects …

Numerous studies in the literature are concerned with proposing new constitutive models for
sands to simulate cyclic loading. Despite considerable progress in this area, there are …

A new constitutive model for sand is formulated by incorporating two new constitutive
ingredients into the platform of a reference critical state compatible bounding surface …

Site response analysis evaluates the seismic response of soils to be further utilised in the
safe infrastructural design in seismic-prone areas. The conventional approach considers 30 …

Liquefaction is associated with the loss of mean effective stress and increase of the pore
water pressure in saturated granular materials due to their contractive tendency under cyclic …

The development of the offshore wind industry is motivating substantial research efforts
worldwide, where offshore wind turbines (OWTs) of increasing size are being installed in …

Liquefaction phenomenon is usually accompanied by large amounts of settlement owing to
disruption of soil structure. In addition to that, large settlement also occurs by a significant …

This paper develops a three dimensional finite element modelling method for piles in
liquefiable ground and applies it to the analysis of seismic pile responses. A unified plasticity …
