Abstract

AbstractWith a new concept for the critical void ratio, barodesy yields promising simulations of element tests. Some shortcomings of this theory hitherto when simulating the behaviour of sand can be overcome by generalizing the widespread assumption that the critical void ratio is a function of the mean stress. Barodesy deviates from established lines of thought in soil mechanics. The interested reader can judge from this article whether this paradigm shift is worthwhile.
