Popis: An exploratory discussion is presented on the application of egg-shaped function in elasto-plastic constitutive analysis for soft clay. Two main tasks of the paper are: 1) to propose a complete yield criterion based on egg-shaped function and supplement its definition in the deviatoric section, and then a yield criterion suitable for 3D stress conditions is obtained; 2) to elaborate its numerical implementation based on the drained triaxial tests. During the above discussion, a non-associated flow rule is proposed, in which the stress-dilatancy relationship in most classical theory is replaced by a linear dependence between the stress state parameter η and the rotation angle η of the plastic potential surface. Thereafter, isotropic and kinematic hardening behavior is considered by employing the hardening parameter H, which can be expressed as the function of plastic work Wp. Finally, comparisons between numerical results and test data on Taizhou soft clay are made to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.
