This thesis presents the development of an advanced computational framework that is able to well capture both the onset and post-bifurcation regime of the strain localisation and its related failure process for dry and unsaturated soils. The proposed computational framework is applied to simulate a range of geomechanical problems, which facilitates the understanding of the complex nature of geomaterials as well as conducting a safe engineering infrastructure design.
