Geotechnical engineering has traditionally assumed small deformations due to the computational difficulties associated with conventional finite element methods. This PhD thesis explores the application of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) to address various large deformation problems in geotechnical engineering. The SPH method, known for its mesh-free nature, overcomes the limitations of traditional approaches, providing a more flexible and accurate modelling framework. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of SPH in simulating various complex geotechnical scenarios. The results highlight the capability of SPH method to handle large deformations with high precision, offering new insights into the behavior of geotechnical systems under extreme conditions.
