YIELD CRITERION FOR ANISOTROPIC SOILS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985

For the purpose of investigating the three-dimensional internal friction law which controls not only the shear strength but also the stress-strain behavior of anisotropic soils, a series of true triaxial tests was performed on cubical specimens of k0-consolidated clay and sand with cross-anisotropic fabric. It has been made clear that the stress conditions at all levels of equishear strain could be prescribed in the same manner as the classic Mohr-Coulomb's criterion. In this paper, it is clarified that three envelopes for the three-dimensional Mohr's stress circles of anisotropic soils, too, can be drawn as straight lines and the influence of anisotropy does not appear in the point of their intersection. Based on the newly extended three-dimensional internal friction law, a new yield criterion for anisotropic soils is proposed and proved the usefulness showing the good agreement with the experimental results. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689. (Author/TRRL)
