| Abstract | The yield envelope for soft Muar clay was established
experimentally , by loading soil samples along different
stress paths starting from the k 0 condition under
axisymmetric conditions. The stress - strain relations hips also were studied .
The tests produced well - defined yield loci in p', q plot
and were normalized with respect to the vertical pre-consolidation pressure ยท The shape of yield envelope were
well defined by Dafalias' s mod el & by Wong & Mitchel l' s
approach .
The directions of plastics train increment vectors along
different stress paths have been examined. The results
suggests that they are vary with stress path directions & no t
normal to the yield surface .
Predictions made using Wong & Mitchell' s approach, based
on an experimentally define d non - associated flow rule, agreed
with the experimental results reason ably well. |
