An Elastoplastic Model for Coarse Grained Soils Obeying Lade's Dilatancy Rule

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper discussed the mechanism of dilatancy in coarse grained soils. Large-scale triaxial tests were also conducted to study the dilatancy law of coarse grained soils. Based on the results of the previous studies, it is found that plastic potential function proposed by Lade can fit the test results well. Lades dilatancy rule was then applied to a practical two-yield-surface model. Elastoplastic formula of the two-yield-surface model was also deduced in detail. The new model was verified with several groups of different materials. Results showed that this model could predict the behaviors of coarse grained soils well.
