摘要
A simple constitutive model is presented to describe the mechanical behaviors of granular soils in a large stress range. A novel normal compression line(NCL) is first expressed by introducing a limit void ratio(e_L) in the double logarithmic scale.Subsequently, a state parameter(ξ) is defined to quantify the current state of granular soils, and a unified hardening parameter(H)that is a function of the state parameter(ξ) is developed to govern the hardening process of the drop-shaped yield surface.Combining with flow rule, a constitutive model for granular soils is proposed. Finally, the comparison between the predictions and the test results of Cambria sand and Coarse-grained material indicates that the model is able to describe the mechanical behaviors of granular soils in a large stress range.
