well as offshore, and special attention for limit state design as well as for ser-
viceability states has to be paid in order to ensure a safe operation for the lifetime
due to the high-cycle fatigue loading applied to the supporting structures.
For the realization of the foundation structures, smart design procedures and
methods of installation have to be developed.
The simulation of installation processes for geotechnical engineering is an
extremely challenging task and requires sophisticated descriptions of the soil
behavior and numerical tools to cope with large deformations taking into account
the interaction with multiphase materials under dynamic excitation.
In this book, the recent development in fundamental research on constitutive
modelingofgranularandclayeymaterialsunderconsiderationofhistoriotropyand
dilatancy effects is addressed as well as computational analyses for high-cycle
loading on geotechnical structures are presented.
The recent development of design tools and construction processes is briefly
discussed, and methods for monitoring the ground deformations are outlined.
