Abstract

Aiming at the limitation of traditional constitutive theories which can not explain the decrease of inclination angle of shear bands correctly when confining pressure increases, a state-dependent critical state model is employed to analyze strain localization of Hostun sands. Firstly, the critical state formulation and model parameters are calibrated through available drained triaxial test results of Hostun sand. Then an analysis of strain localization is performed on the drained plane strain tests. The results show that the state-dependent critical state model is capable of simulating the effect of initial effective confining pressure on inclination angle of shear bands.
