Hypoplastic models for soil-structure interfaces - modeling and implementation

摘要

The Ph.D. thesis covers and analyses open questions in the soil-structure interaction with respect to the interface and contact problems in geotechnics. In addition, new interface models have been developed. In order to model the complex shear and volumetric interface behavior precise suitable models have to be used. Adequate and easy to implement contact models have so far not been available sufficiently. These questions arise in all design processes of embedded structures under static, cyclic or dynamic loads and are of fundamental importance for the interaction between soil and structure.
