Abstract This paper deals with an application of generalized non-linear stress-strain relationships of an incremental nature for a particulate material in order to investigate the behaviour of a bed subjected to a loading cycle during which lateral strain is prevented. Initially, the limiting conditions in a bed of granular material are discussed, and a brief review presented of relevant work already carried out under the condition of no lateral strain. Both normally consolidated, and over-consolidated, beds are considered. The resulting calculations indicate that the stress history of the bed can have, depending on stress levels, a profound effect on behaviour during subsequent reloading. Both the state of stress and the stress-strain behaviour of the deposit are assessed. Finally, the results are shown to have an important application in a number of engineering problems, particularly where overconsolidated beds of material are under consideration.
