- A constitutive model representative of a wider and successful family of structure-enhanced models (natural and structured clays, cemented soils and rocks), is for the first time reformulated for large strains within a non-local approach to prevent mesh dependency. Thanks to the robust numerical integration scheme, the model can hence be used to efficiently capture installation effects on the response of geotechnical structures (offshore anchoring systems, suction caissons, screw piles, driven and jacked pile foundations) and to model large strain problems such as landslide propagation, seabed ploughing considering coupled hydromechanical effects. It has been used in new PhD work internationally (https://www.politesi.polimi.it/handle/10589/154613)
