Abstract
The essence of soil constitutive modeling is the establishment of the stress–strain relationship for soils. In this chapter, the continuum hypothesis of soil as an assembly of grains is first introduced, then the stress and strain concepts, as well as their expressions of some important stress or strain variables used in constitutive modeling are briefly discussed, and finally, the practical stress–strain analysis module developed in the ErosLab platform is presented.
