Effect of the sloping seabed on 3D soil-spudcan interaction using a material point-finite element (MPM-FEM) model

The sloping seabed affects the bearing capacity and failure mechanism of soil, which may compromise the stability and safety of offshore structures such as jack-up platforms. This paper employs a coupled model combining the material point method and finite element method (MPM-FEM) to analyze the imp...
