Limit analysis has emerged as a fundamental approach in geotechnical engineering, providing robust methodologies to assess the stability and ultimate load-carrying capacity of soil–structure systems.

Finite element methods (FEM) have long been integral to the analysis and design of geotechnical systems, particularly when addressing issues of soil–structure interaction and extreme deformation ...
