A large deformation finite element analysis solution for modelling dense sand

To capture the softening behaviour of dense sand, an extended Mohr-Coulomb model was developed using a critical state framework. The model extends Bolton's correlations to capture dilatancy and peak strength, and is compatible with the remeshing and remapping strategies used in large deformation finite element analysis. This model is initially being used to simulate the behaviour of sand layers during foundation and spudcan penetration into uniform and stratified soils, but is applicable to a variety of problems that cannot be accurately simulated using conventional M-C plasticity alone.

Abstract

To capture the softening behaviour of dense sand, an extended Mohr-Coulomb model was developed using a critical state framework. The model extends Bolton's correlations to capture dilatancy and peak strength, and is compatible with the remeshing and remapping strategies used in large deformation finite element analysis. This model is initially being used to simulate the behaviour of sand layers during foundation and spudcan penetration into uniform and stratified soils, but is applicable to a variety of problems that cannot be accurately simulated using conventional M-C plasticity alone.
