Abstract
Numerous attempts have been made to modify the generalized constitutive model and to introduce new constitutive models in the framework of generalized plasticity. The modified models can predict the behavior of sand fairly well, however, such models require many parameters and are difficult to calibrate. Moreover, it is highly desirable for a model to be able to reproduce soil behavior using a single set of parameters. In this paper, the constitutive model by Pastor and Zienkiewicz is further developed based on critical state and bounding surface models. The model is used to simulate the behavior of three types of sands under monotonic and cyclic loadings.
