“…However, given the high deformability typically observed in bonded soils when affected by mechanical and/or chemical bond degradation, geometric non-linearity may play an important role in some practical applications. These applications include: the evaluation of pile bearing capacity of offshore platforms (McLelland, 1988;King and Lodge, 1988); the modeling of subsidence phenomena associated to hydrocarbon extraction (Potts et al, 1988) and sinkhole formation (Mánica et al, 2020); the study of the effects of pile driving (Jardine et al, 2018); the interpretation of cone penetration tests under undrained or partially drained conditions (Ceccato and Simonini, 2017;Monforte et al, 2018;Martinelli and Galavi, 2021); the modeling of slow slope deformations in presence of significant modifications of the slope geometry (Conte et al, 2019). Notable exceptions are the recent works of Monforte et al (2019) who have extended to finite deformations the Gens-Nova model (Gens and Nova, 1993), and of Oliynyk and Tamagnini (2020), who presented a finite deformation version of the theory of hyperplasticity (Houlsby and Puzrin, 2007) and applied it to the micromechanically inspired plasticity model for bonded, crushable granular materials of Tengattini et al (2014).…”
