... computational mechanics foundations granular materials The majority of the previous studies summarised in this section refer to field or laboratory tests that were performed in cohesionless soil. The first study of this type was performed by Prakash (1962) . A group of piles was tested...

... computational mechanics foundations offshore engineering Offshore jack-up drilling rigs are generally supported on quasi-circular or polygonal foundations commonly referred to as spudcans. The prevalence of unexpected leg penetrations, often due to punch-through failure, has triggered research...
