Hypoplastic and elastoplastic modelling — a comparison with test data

  • Chapter
Constitutive Modelling of Granular Materials

Abstract

A large database on Hostun RF Sand containing the results of ax- isymmetric and plane strain tests under drained conditions is used to compare the performance of two entirely different constitutive models: an elastoplastic and a hypoplastic model. On considering input parameters and formulations one might expect completely different stress-strain behaviour. But from the present study it will appear that model performances in relation to real soil behaviour bear a great deal of similarity.
