Abstract
The article considers the possibility of describing parallel processes in a soil sample based on the energy expended on them. It is shown that triaxial testing in various drainage modes and with different stress paths cmakes it possible to determine the energy parameters characterizing elastic and plastic strain, volumetric and shear stiffness, dilatancy and contraction, volumetric stiffness of the pore fluid. These parameters characterize the physical meaning of the ongoing processes to a greater extent than the accepted parameters (moduli) of solid mechanics. The obtained result can be used to develop models of nonlinear behavior of dispersed soils.
