Abstract

This paper explains the implementation of the advanced kinematic elasto-plastic constitutive soil model "ALTERNAT" into the implicit dynamic finite element for describing the stress-strain behaviour of unsaturated soils. The constitutive equation of the model is developed into a dynamic finite element program within a framework of the implicit Newmark gamma,beta method, and treats the compaction of the unsaturated soil as a three-phase medium. Unsaturated soil, in the present paper, is defined as a continuous water phase and an air phase, which is entrapped within the water phase.
