On the micro mechanics of yielding and hardening of crushable granular soils

Stress path tests are used to investigate the yield surface of a crushable numerical soil. Triaxial samples with isotropic and anisotropic stress histories are examined to determine the nature of the yield surface and to establish what governs yield. Two separate yield surfaces are exposed: a shear...
