5. Taking micromechanics into account in phenomenological behavior models

First of all, it should be noted that the companion article [C 218] is dedicated to the presentation of phenomenological behavior models. We therefore do not go back over the description of the latter, and only the aspects of these models directly related to micromechanics are dealt with in this section.

5.1 Soil anisotropy

Soils in place most often exhibit material anisotropy, reflected in the preferential orientation of soil particles and inter-particle...
