Evaluation of the PM4Sand Constitutive Model for the Prediction of Earthquake-Induced & Static Liquefaction in Hydraulic Fills

The earthquake-induced liquefaction is a high-risk phenomenon for dredging industries, which need to set strict requirements in order to avoid potential disastrous effects for the project. Different types of liquefaction exist which can be triggered over a wide range of soil types and for different loading conditions. The liquefaction triggering...

Geotechnical Aspects of Offshore Wind Turbine Dynamics Emerging from 3d Sand-Monopile Non-Linear Simulations

In recent years, offshore wind is becoming an increasingly growing market in Europe. Many resources are allocated towards ensuring its sustainable progress while one of the biggest uncertainties encountered lays in the offshore wind turbine's (OWT) foundations. In Europe, monopiles are the most widely adopted solution to found such structures in...
