INDUCED ANISOTROPY IN COHESIONLESS SOIL: EXPERIMENTS AND MODELLING

This paper describes experimental results performed on a true triaxial apparatus which allows 90 degree rotations of principal stress directions. This allows the induced anisotropy created by an initial loading to be studied. An elastoplastic model with isotropic and kinematic hardening is then developed. Its predictions for anistropic effects are in good agreement with experiments. (Author/TRRL)
