Abstract

First, a non linear incremental modelling is proposed to describe rheological behaviour of granular material under different simple (i.e. triaxial-, oedometric-, undrained-) stress-strain paths. Validity of isotropic-response assumption is demonstrated whatever the stress ratio as far as deformation range remains small (ε1<5%). This contradicts some recent hypothesis made on the evolution of contact distribution during anisotropic loading.
