Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to model the shear strength of highly overconsolidated, stiff clays in numerical analysis.
The multilaminate framework of the model is explained, and details of the yield surfaces, plastic potential functions and hardening rules are given. Comparison of undrained stress paths predicted by the model and laboratory test results shows that the model is well suited to predict peak strength and dilatant behavior typical for overconsolidated soils
