IS - 10 ID - discovery10048046 N2 - Meshfree methods have been demonstrated as suitable and strong alternatives to the more standard numerical schemes such as finite elements or finite differences. Moreover, when formulated in a Lagrangian approach, they are appropriate for capturing soil behavior under high?strain levels. In this paper, the optimal transportation meshfree method has been applied for the first time to geotechnical problems undergoing large deformations. All the features employed in the current methodology (ie, F?bar, explicit viscoplastic integration, and master?slave contact) are described and validated separately. Finally, the model is applied to the particular case of shallow foundations by using von Mises and Drucker?Prager yield criteria to find the load at failure in the. The presented methodology is demonstrated to be robust and accurate when solving this type of problems.
