    Notes: A modification to a conventional critical state model is described which introduces some plasticity in the stress region which is normally fully elastic. The effect is to blur the otherwise sharp distinction between elastic and yielding states. The modification is conceptually simple and does not require any additional material parameters. The model was developed for the dual purpose of providing a more robust constitutive law for finite element applications and to provide a more realistic representation of the soil. Its potential is demonstrated by simulating the response of a plane strain sample tested over a range of loading and unloading stress paths. The results are in accordance with expectations from physical tests. Further, they show that the model has some potential for at least the first few cycles of cyclic loading. A finite element boundary value analysis of an excavation is also described. This shows how the model copes with the severe test of stress paths which unload while yielding. Finally, the model is used to match stress-strain curves obtained from large-scale laboratory tests on a compacted clay. Close agreement with three of the five tests was obtained using a single set of material parameters.

    Notes: A number of problems are analysed by the displacement method to assess the stress accuracy at very low compressibilities. ‘Parabolic’ isoparametric elements are used. It is found that the mean stress becomes grossly in error at the centre and edges of each element as the compressibility is reduced whereas the deviatoric stress components do not. All stress components retain good accuracy at the ‘reduced’ integration sampling points (2 × 2 Gauss). ‘Exact’ integration yields a similar stress distribution to ‘reduced’ but the mean stress is grossly in error at the integration points (3 × 3 Gauss). Exceptions, however, occur.These findings are interpreted, and a rule for predetermining whether or not accurate stresses can be obtained at the integrating points is suggested. Thus it is shown that the displacement method is suitable for analysing materials which for practical purposes are incompressible.A procedure is then presented for analysing porous media-both linear and non-linear-by separating the stiffness into ‘effective’ and ‘pore fluid’ components. This allows excess pore pressure to be calculated explicitly. Applications to saturated soils are given which make use of the findings of the first part of the paper.

    Notes: Reinforced earth in plane strain is idealized as a homogeneous material with the strips attached to the elastic soil matirx by a conceptual shear zone. A ‘no-slip’ finite element model is derived by assigning a large shear modulus to the shear zone. Relaxation of this modulus using a tangential stiffness algorithm in conjunction with a Mohr-Coulomb strip-slip criterion allows slipping to be simulated.The finite element formulation is validated and the finite element discretization assessed by comparisons against exact solutions for a simple test problem.An idealized reinforced earth wall example is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the method and to answer the question: ‘is slipping significant?’ The method is shown to be potentially useful, and slipping is shown to be significant.
