A Verification Study for the Bounding Surface Plasticity Model for Cohesive Soils

Abstract

Results of drained and undrained, triaxial compression and extension, and thick-walled cylinder laboratory tests are given for a laboratory prepared kaolin soil. For the soil in question, a portion of the data is used to calibrate a 'bounding surface plasticity model' for cohesive soils. The model is used to analyze the remaining tests and the results are compared to the measured values with good agreement. (Author)
