Please refer to the sections on Soil Mechanics in the treatise on Construction and Structural Design in the treatise on Fundamental Sciences.
2.1 Intrinsic curve
Let's start by recalling that a material's intrinsic curve is a curve that limits the elastic domain in a plane defined by the normal stress on the abscissa and the shear stress on the ordinate (figure 3 ).
