The use of a variable shear modulus in elastic-plastic models for clays
When modelling the elastic behaviour of a clay it is often convenient to use a shear modulus which is proportional to the mean effective stress, in order to improve the accuracy of modelling. This choice can lead, however, to theoretical difficulties, in that the elastic behaviour may be non-conserv...
