ABSTRACT

Constitutive models for soils should be developed in order to apply them to the practical design of various geotechnical problems with satisfactory accuracy as their final goal. It is then necessary to know the applicability of the constitutive models for practical uses. For this purpose, in Part 2, numerical simulations (numerical modeling) of various geotechnical problems using the constitutive model presented in Part 1 and the corresponding model tests (physical modeling) have been carried out. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) model tests were performed under earth gravity (1 g tests).
