Modelling of clays, Flow rule, YieldAbstract
In this work it is presented the experimental results on remoulded samples of Santa Clara clay and studied the possibility of using existing numerical models, namely: hardening elastic-plastic models, using isotropic consolidation (Cam-Clay, Modified Cam-Clay); and using Ko consolidation (Melanie model). The yield surface and the flow rule of the models are evaluated. Finally, with the experimental results of Santa Clara clay, a Limit State Surface is put forward.
