The behaviour of spudcan footings on clay subjected to combined cyclic loading

This paper presents an improved numerical 'force resultant model' for spudcan foundations that can be used within a structural analysis of a mobile drilling unit. The model incorporates hysteretic behaviour for pre-yield 'elastic' movements by using a hyperplasticity formulation...
