MODEL OF SAND BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS SHEARING AND COMPRESSIBILITY IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONDITIONS OF STRESS AND STRAIN. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NUMERICAL METHODS IN GEOMECHANICS, 11-15 APRIL 1988, INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA. VOLUMES 1 - 3

This theoretical model concerns sand behaviour when true triaxial shearing, and compressibility occur. The main interest is the low number of parameters which always have a physical meaning. This model uses only 8 constant parameters for over-consolidated soil, and 6 for normally consolidated soil. The behaviour of the sand is assumed to be elastic in an area limited by an elliptical cap; beyond this cap, "standard" plasticity occurs in the compressible area, and "non-standard" plasticity in the dilatancy area. Theoretical results from the conventional triaxial test with a constant stress ratio are compared with the experimental results. (TRRL)
