Experimental studies and numerical simulation of experiments were conducted on pressure-controlled cavity expansion in clay. The modified Cam-clay model was used to describe the clay behaviour. The experimental data are in good agreement with the simulation results, indicating that the adopted numerical simulation procedure is a plausible and reliable technique to study the fundamental behaviour of pressure-controlled cavity expansion. A new parameter, cavity aspect ratio (CAR), was defined to better describe the cavity shape. Different phenomena during the cavity expansion process are thus studied numerically, and the results are presented in this paper.Key words: pressure-controlled cavity expansion, numerical simulation, laboratory investigation, modified Cam-clay model, cavity aspect ratio (CAR), ABAQUS.

The purpose of this study is to discuss which constitutive law can describes at best the observed behavior of Silt and Gravelly Clay on the basis of experimental and analytical results. To find numerical solution for saturated soils in oedometer test Plaxis 2D the finite element software was used. In order to obtain the compressibility, excess pore pressure and degree of consolidation curves; two constitutive laws were used in this work: the Soft Soil Model ‘SSM’ and the Modified Cam Clay Model ‘MCC’. Predicted results were found in good agreement with measurements obtained from experimental test and analytical solutions. The Soft Soil is in good agreement with experimental results in the compressibility curve; however the Modified Cam Clay Model is the most appropriate if compared with the analytical solution.

The character of geomaterials is affected by stress path remarkably. Under different stress paths, the stress-strain characteristics of geomaterials are difference. For the unloading path in existing engineering situation, the physical parameters and constitutive model is usually determined by loading test. The path to uninstall the actual project conditions which may be a larger error. Therefore, this work proceeding from the actual project, deep excavation of the lateral unloading condition is analysed. The tests of CTC path and RTC path on silty clay in Huangshi city of china by multi-path tri-axial plane strain are carried on in the geotechnical Engineering Laboratory of Huangshi Institute of Technology. Then, the phenomenon under the two stress paths are compared with each other and describing the differences between them. The mechanical properties in the RTC stress path is analyzed mainly. Based on the Cam-Clay model framework, then derived this material yield equation based on Cam-clay model, Laiding the foundation for the numerical analysis.
