Multiphase Constitutive Model of " Matrix-Strengthen Particle of Saturated Soil "

Abstract:

In this article soil is treated as non-uniform material including two parts : the matrix particles and the reinforcement particles. Through soil shear strain energy and micro-crack assumptions, we establish a multiphase constitutive model connecting macro and micro scale based on classical continuum models, which includes the strain gradient, internal length scales and particle size. This model have been verified reasonable by artificial soil experiment.
