Abstract
Quasi-static numerical model of jack-up spudcan penetration in layered sandy soil was presented in this paper, based on explicit procedure. Three different methods, such as Lagrangian analysis, Lagrangian analysis with distortion control and Lagrangian-Eulerian analysis, were used to control soil negative element volumes or other excessive distortion. The results showed that, reasonable and stable numerical results could be solved by Lagrangian-Eulerian analysis. The magnitude of plastic strain, however, decreases at first and then increases to the maximum.
