A SAND MODEL BASED ON GENERALIZED PLASTICITY


Abstract eng:
The behavior of sand and performance of earth structures are strongly affected by the confining stress. Many existing models for sand are not capable of describing the behavior ranging from very low to very high confining stresses. In this study, a generalized plasticity model is extended to capture the dilatancy and strength properties of sand under a wide range of stress levels. The model is validated with the experimental results of several different types of sand under drained conditions.
