A fully implicit integration scheme in the bounding-surface plasticity model for cyclic behaviors of saturated clay is presented by modifying the conventional implicit return mapping algorithm. Within the critical state framework
based on the concept of shrinking the elastic region to a point
combining isotropic with kinematic hardening rule and a rotated bounding surface
and introducing a damage parameter representing the remolding of the soil fabric
the model can reflect the initial anisotropy
the cyclic stiffness degradation and strength softening of saturated clay under cyclic loading. Firstly
the numerical simulations of the undrained triaxial tests both for isotropic ( ) and anisotropic ( ) consolidated kaolin clay are carried out with variable strain increments. By comparing with the test data
the rationality
robustness and the accuracy of the new fully implicit integration for the bounding surface plasticity model are verified. Furthermore
the prediction for an undrained cyclic triaxial test on a saturated clay is given
and the cyclic degradation of the stiffness and strength is obtained
which indicates the validity of the computational results.
