AbstractThe objective of this study is to derive a time dependent effective based constitutive law on the basis of framework of the Modified Cam-Clay model. This model takes into account the anisotropic characteristics and creep behavior, based on the theory of viscoplasticity. The model sets the initial yield surface symmetric to the Ko line for modeling the initial Ko condition. A method is then developed to compute the gyration and expansion of the loading surface to simulate the anisotropic behavior due to the principal stress gyration after shear. The creep or time dependent behavior is considered in the model by adopting Kutter and Sathialingam's model, which was derived from Taylor's secondary consolidation theory and Bjerrum's delayed compression model. Compared with the Modified Cam-Clay model, the model requires five additional parameters to describe the soil behavior. All of the additional parameters can be obtained through conventional soil tests or parametric studies. The model is evaluated through a series of simulation of undrained shear tests and undrained creep tests.

To describe the time-dependent behavior of soft clay, this paper extended one-dimensional Nishihara model to three-dimensional stress state based on the framework of Perzyna’s overstress theory and modified cam-clay model. The yield criterion of modified cam-clay model was used to describe the plastic properties of soft clay, and the overstress theory was used to describe the strain rate effect. Triaxial rheological tests were carried out on Ningbo soft clay and the rheological characteristics were studied. Based on laboratory results, the parameters of proposed model were determined by curve fitting, which show that this model is suitable for the rheological characteristics of Ningbo soft clay. The analysis of parameters shows that, the value of parameters changes slightly with different deviatoric stress when the confining pressure was constant, but changes notably with the increase of confining pressure. A user material subroutine of the proposed constitutive mode was coded on the platform of the FEM software ABAQUS and verified by triaxial compression of soil column. A plain strain problem was computed to analyze the rheological consolidation properties of soft clay, in which the rheological effect and the finite strain effect were considered.

The purpose of this study is to discuss which constitutive law can describes at best the observed behavior of Silt and Gravelly Clay on the basis of experimental and analytical results. To find numerical solution for saturated soils in oedometer test Plaxis 2D the finite element software was used. In order to obtain the compressibility, excess pore pressure and degree of consolidation curves; two constitutive laws were used in this work: the Soft Soil Model ‘SSM’ and the Modified Cam Clay Model ‘MCC’. Predicted results were found in good agreement with measurements obtained from experimental test and analytical solutions. The Soft Soil is in good agreement with experimental results in the compressibility curve; however the Modified Cam Clay Model is the most appropriate if compared with the analytical solution.

The paper presents a reasonably advanced constitutive law for soil – a hybrid of the Modified Cam Clay and a new RU development. The Modified Cam Clay model is an isotropic hardening elasto – plastic model originated by Burland in 1967 [1] within the critical state soil mechanics. This model describes realistically mechanical soil behaviour in normal consolidation states. The other one is designed to ensure more adequate soil responses to reloading paths, particularly in the range of small strains. The RU+MCC model has been implemented in the FEM computer code Z_SOIL.pc. To test the influence of the small strain nonlinearity on soil – structure interaction as well as to exhibit the ability of the proposed model to simulate realistically this effect, a comparative study based on the FEM solution has been carried out. As a benchmark a trial loading test of strip footing was used.

The character of geomaterials is affected by stress path remarkably. Under different stress paths, the stress-strain characteristics of geomaterials are difference. For the unloading path in existing engineering situation, the physical parameters and constitutive model is usually determined by loading test. The path to uninstall the actual project conditions which may be a larger error. Therefore, this work proceeding from the actual project, deep excavation of the lateral unloading condition is analysed. The tests of CTC path and RTC path on silty clay in Huangshi city of china by multi-path tri-axial plane strain are carried on in the geotechnical Engineering Laboratory of Huangshi Institute of Technology. Then, the phenomenon under the two stress paths are compared with each other and describing the differences between them. The mechanical properties in the RTC stress path is analyzed mainly. Based on the Cam-Clay model framework, then derived this material yield equation based on Cam-clay model, Laiding the foundation for the numerical analysis.
