| Abstract | The Cambridge Stress-Strain theories were critically examined. Proposal s were made to decouple the energy equation from t he elasto-plastic assumptions that constitute these theories . Based on the observations of the decoupling scheme, the Revised Cam-Clay theory was reformulated in terms of the critical state soil parameters M, and K , along the lines of the Incremental Stress-Strain Theory, thereby eliminating the presently inherent empirical nature of the Revised Theory. Predictions made using the amended formulation agreed with experimental results reasonably well. An experimental shear behaviour of normally consolidated investigation was carried out to Soft Bangkok c lay from the Nong Ngoo under K conditions in the laboratory 0 study the Hao site , in the triaxial apparatus , and cove red conventional drained and undrained stress paths in both compression and extension. Parallels in behaviour were drawn between K consolidation and isotropic consolidation while noting the . K consolidated peculiarities in behaviour. |
