Stress strain relationship of sand and its application to FEM analysis
Abstract
In traditional soil mechanics, soil is treated as linear elastic material for obtaining stress distribution. With regard to the failure problem, soil is treated as rigid plastic material obeying the failure law proposed by Coulomb. But significant structure such as nuclear power plant has made it necessary to solve deformation and failure problem of soil by more reliable manner than traditional one
