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.
