Abstract: Previous plasticity models for predicting anchor kinematics under eccentric loading in clay are mostly rigid plastic. They may produce inaccurate outcomes in some conditions. This paper presents an elastoplastic model to ...

Abstract: This paper presents finite-element simulations to reinterpret a series of full-model and particle image velocimetry (PIV) (half model) centrifuge tests to study the uplift of skirted foundations. The focus is on the influence ...

Abstract: This study proposes a new associative yield function (f*) for suction-embedded plate anchors in undrained clay, addressing the limitations of the commonly used yield function (f). Firstly, 2,520 three-dimensional finite-element ...

Abstract: Different features, such as rotational hardening and nonassociated flow, have been added to the classic modified cam-clay (MCC) model. However, there is little knowledge about their role and importance in simulating in ...
