Abstract

An enhanced anisotropic elastoplastic bounding surface model with non-associative flow rule has been proposed (Ling et al., 2002; Jiang et al., 2012). The model has great potential to realistically describe the behavior of different types of cohesive soils, whether strain hardening or strain softening under general stress paths and under drained and undrained conditions. This study integrates and demonstrates the application of the enhanced anisotropic bounding surface model with non-associative flow rule in finite element analysis (FEA) of deep excavation. To illustrate the importance of adopting a bounding surface, a built-in inviscid Sekiguchi-Ohta model in PLAXIS is employed for comparison with the measurements obtained at the Convention Center of the Taipei World Trade Center (WTC) Complex.
