this paper investigates a numerical solution of a semi-infinite mass of soil being penetrated by a smooth and rigid wedge. Traditional methods such as the finite element method (FEM) meet some difficulties when large strains are involved. Hence the generalized material point method (GIMP) is used to simulate the penetration process, as a first approximation to study other problems involving large strains in geotechnicalengineering. the GIMP includes many attractive features in solving engineering problems involving large deformations. Its formulation is shortly described and then an analytical solution is compared withnumerical results for different depths of penetration. the results show that the method describes qualitative and quantitatively the phenomenon of penetration. Some differences comparing numerical and analytical results are attributed to artificial roughness introduced by the geometric discretization. Other reasons could be explained by the scheme of integration used in the constitutive law and time stepping, specifically during the transition between elastic and plastic behavior in the constitutive model adopted.
Starting on 2011 the construction of three new buildings with structures extending below the groundwater table have been started in Tikkurila area,Vantaa. there is a risk that these buildings would affect the groundwa...
