Conference Topics:
Papers should be related but are not limited to the main theme of the conference: Numerical modeling of large deformation and soil-water-structure interaction. They can be of either computational or experimental nature and can be of both fundamental basis or applications with a special emphasis on the following aspects:
- Material point method, formulation and applications
- Other munerical methods for modeling large deformations in geomechanics and fluid mechanics, amongst many others e.g. SPH, DEM/LBM, PFEM, ALE,UL-FEM, CFD
- Coupling of geomechanics and fluid mechanics concepts
- Constitutive models for large deformation, dynamic problems, cyclic loading, unsaturated behaviour
- Soil-water interaction and transition, modeling of sedimentation and erosion, sediment transport and deposition, coastal erosion and scouring
- Modelling of water-soil boundary layers under currents and waves, turbulence modeling
Experiments, benchmarks and case studies:
- Experimental investigation of large deformation problems at field, model or laboratory scale
- Forensic engineering: (back-) analysis of large deformation failure events and natural hazards
- Case studies and benchmark solutions for large deformation problems
Applications in geotechnical and hydraulic engineering:
- Slope liquefaction and breaching, dredging processes, jetting, cutting
- Installation of geocontainers, stability of breakwaters, wave attack on structures
- Submarine slides, turbulent flow slides
- Landslides (weather-, earthquake-, man-induced),debris flows, avalanches
- Dike stability (e.g. macrostability, piping, erosion)and dike reinforcement
- Installation problems, e.g. pile installation
- Soil investigation, e.g. pile load testing, CPT simulation, pore pressure dissemination testing
- Impact and stability problems, e.g. boreholes, sinkholes
