Through conventional triaxial test and equal stress-ratio pressure test of intact loess sample
base on the result of the stress-strain characteristics curve analysis
the yield function of the model is directly determined from experimental data. According to the Drucker’s postulation
the elastoplastic model of unsaturated loess is proposed by selecting proper hardening parameter
and carried on the comparison analysis of the test result and the model computed result. The results show that the model can simulate the softening phenomenon which is related with the consolidated stress; and the results of the calculation coincide with the results of tests.
