Barodesy is a constitutive model for granular materials such as sand and clay. It is based on the asymptotic behaviour of granular media at a constant deformation rate. In this work the existing sand version of Barodesy is improved. For this purpose, the underlying scalar equations are simplified using different concepts from soil mechanics. The improved version is also compared with laboratory tests and different elastoplastic and hypoplastic constitutive relations. Also the stability of slopes and advanced stress paths such as the rotation of the princple stresses are investigated with these models. weiterlesen
