Neues Paper: "Numerical prediction of a pile’s response under lateral monotonic and cyclic loading" in "Computers and Geotechnics"

23.07.2025

Together with Jose Duque from Universidad de la Costa (Colombia) and David Mašín from Charles University (Prague) we present the findings of a comprehensive assessment of the predictive capabilities and limitations of advanced geotechnical numerical tools utilizing two sophisticated constitutive models for sands: the hardening soil model with small strains and hypoplasticity with intergranular strain. The evaluation is based on simulations of laboratory and centrifuge tests under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions.

In general, the models accurately replicated the experimental observations from tests conducted under monotonic loading conditions. Some small discrepancies were found in pile tests subjected to cyclic loading, these were however minor when compared to issues in predicting cyclic element tests at undrained conditions.
