Abstract

A method for construction of a quasi-plasticity matrix for calculation of soil stiffness by the finite element method is proposed. This method uses the defining von Mises relation that takes into account the effect of the first two invariants of the stress tensor and the gradient deformation law associated with the defining relation. Results obtained on the basis of the von Mises condition are compared with experimental results and an optimal value of the variable parameter is found.
