REN Qing-yang1, ZHU Yi-wen1, WANG Jing-tao1, et al. Numerical modeling the elastoplastic constitutive relation of expansive soil[J]. 2006, (10): 1699-1702.
Based on the numerical modeling constitutive law of rock and soil
the stress-strain relations of expansive soil of the Linhuaigang Dam in Anhui Province with different water content were established; and the three dimensional surface of stress-strain relation in the whole stress field (p
q) were drawn through visualization. By comparison
it is found that the effect of different water content on the constitutive relation of expansive soil is obvious. The theory of plastic potential is not used in this paper
in the numerical modeling not only the difficult of seeking analytical expression of plastic potential is overcome
but also the initial condition
such as water content can be chosen freely. Therefore
the deformation of expansive soil could be really described by using the constitutive model provided by the numerical modeling.
