- Abstract
Large deformation problems (LDPs) in geotechnical engineering are solved using advanced large deformation finite element (LDFE) formulations like coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian, arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian, material point method, remeshing and interpolation technique by small strain, etc. The LDFE formulation solutions are time-consuming compared to the conventional finite element method (FEM). In the study, the inefficiency of the conventional FEM to solve LDPs is highlighted and a new methodology is proposed and used to address a typical LDP, i.e., cone penetration (CP) test. The CP test in sand and clay is simulated using PLAXIS 2D program. The proposed methodology can represent the numerical simulations of continuous penetration of the cone using conventional FEM. In the proposed methodology, a reduction factor is introduced to represent the variation of ultimate resistance of the cone when continuously penetrated in the soil. The present study results are compared with those results available in the literature to assess the suitability of the proposed methodology for solving a typical LDP in geotechnical engineering i.e., CP test.
