DEVELOPMENT OF AN ANISOTROPIC SOIL MODEL FOR THE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF A VERTICAL CUT. NUMERICAL MODELS IN GEOMECHANICS. NUMOG III. PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM HELD AT NIAGARA FALLS, CANADA, 8-11 MAY 1989

The development of a generalized plasticity model is presented which takes account of the inherent anisotropy of a soil deposit during its initial deposition and induced anisotropy during subsequent loading. The model is incorporated in a general purpose finite element program which enables one to simulate complex geotechnical problems such as excavation and effective stress stability analysis. The ability of the model to predict the behavior of an excavation is demonstrated by simulating the failure of a vertical cut in overconsolidated clay.(a) for the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD 824029.
