Notes:
The computer algorithm MONICA1, which incorporates the double-hardening constitutive law Monot2, has been tested on a large number of numerical examples. This paper summarizes the validation process, which has included consideration of both single element stress paths and multi-element boundary value problems. These results show MONICA to be effective for analysing practical problems using a soil model of the double-hardening type. They also demonstrate the ability of Monot to model a wide range of material responses. Problems involving pore pressure changes are identified as an area in which this form of analysis is of particular use3,4.
