Abstract: Numerical analyses for soil structures under monotonic and cyclic loading using nonlinear models have developed rapidly in recent years. Effective stress-based soil models are incorporated in the analyses to predict soil ...

Abstract: A comprehensive constitutive model for sand is formulated within the general framework of bounding surface hypoplasticity. The distinctive feature of this model is the dependence of the loading and plastic strain rate ...

Abstract: The effort to model sand behavior within the framework of critical-state soil mechanics would benefit from a state variable that relates the current void ratio and mean pressure of the soil to its void ratio and mean ...
